When you google the exact definition of art, this is what you find.

The definition says it's something to do with artistic expression and creativity. But look at what Wikipedia says. It's something that takes tremendous skill.
Art is the intersection of both those definitions. Allow me to explain.
Let's take gift wrapping first. How the devil are you supposed to wrap a present with circular dimensions, such as a cylindrical box, or any other oddly shaped object? I certainly can't. But hats off to the people out there in the world who can do it PERFECTLY! While struggling to wrap a gift for my friend properly without unnecessary creases and crinkles, I realized that gift wrapping is an ART.
Let's move on to food. Have you seen Masterchef Australia? Some of those dishes are just so breathtakingly beautiful. I mean, the plate up is just straight up artistic! My conclusion? Cooking, plating up and serving is an art. Don't even get me started on cake baking.
Writing, painting, drawing, story telling, acting... they're all art. But there's more, SO much more in this world that is art too. Even architecture! I mean, from extravagant medieval palaces to sleek modern skyscrapers, you gotta admit there's something beautiful about them that makes you unable to pry your eyes away. Even nature is art. Everything around you is the result of some skill or the other of some individual living thing or by the hands of god.
My point is, if you seek art for inspiration, don't go to an art museum or something. Look for it in the world around you. Everything in your immediate surroundings. Art is everywhere. Our environment, our planet, our solar system and the whole universe around it.
Everything is art.
