Personally, I would argue that perception of what is art has very little to do with the limitations of what can be art. Rather, the perception of art is more similar to the idea of Aesthetics to me. For one who understands their personal aethetic value for something in conjunction to understanding the aesthetic potential of others around them is what leads to art.
Now that being a little bit much to take all at once, to simplify I would say that human's naturally understand what is art to them and to people around them, it is an instinct of sorts. When it comes down to analyzing a specific piece of work, if it cannot be understood then it is an error of communication of one of the two parties involved (either the creator or the observer). These types of errors are the loopholes that crack through society and create the problem of your questioning of your own perception of the whole.
Do you feel that this analysis of perception helps you to follow through with what your original intent of understanding art was?
