Videogames are not essentially art. They are basically just games, challenges for the player, they´re closer to board games in their essence than to art itself. But videogames are a form of entertainment that uses art to be produced, be it visual arts, music or interpretation.

Yes! Finally someone who gets it, the rest are just bashing the art teacher.

If it uses art that makes it art.....

No, baby diapers tv ads use art and they are not art, potatoes snacks use art and they are not art, my house uses art on its walls yet I would not consider my particular house art.
