Ah, it seems I misspoke: I meant all human action that is intentional.So, if I might be brutally honest here for a moment, I think you have overcompensated by saying all human activity is art. But I think in saying this you are actually defeating your own definition of intentionality.
Yeah that’s why it’s in my definition, obviously not all human action (or the results of that action) is intentional, and thus is not art.If someone is not intending to make art, then I'm not sure why we would call something art that is not meant to be art.
And in that instance, the child is intending to do math, but doesn’t understand it, so what they’re producing is not intentional, and so doesn’t make sense to credit to them as art.If no intention is there for art, then a child doing homework and writing "2+5=7" becomes art, and I just don't think it is meaningful to categorize that as art.
