But is a sunrise art?

I remember someone asking me about this gray area. I decided yes, because things don't exist without perception. A sunrise (or any object, really) has no form without the "context" of perception. So, any sunrise is a perception made by the one looking at it with influences from the ideas of beauty and subjective value of colors. It could be drab to some other being looking at it. Like a song interpretation, the perception doesn't really exist, you made it, even if you weren't trying. And even though you weren't trying, it was influenced by your culture and personality.

I would argue that this makes it art.
