Is “Fan Art” art?

Many people have asked and wondered “Is fan art really art”?

Technically, is really is. In fact, any form of creactivity is art in it’s own form. Photography, game designing, painting, drawing, sketching, dance, music, and so on. Many believe that art is painting and drawing, but there is many more ways of art to be shown, and fan art is one of them.

Wikipedia: “Fan art or fanart is artwork that is based on a character, costume, item, or story that was created by someone other than the artist.”

Due to fan art sometimes being based on another artwork, if you plan to make fan art, be sure to say that the artwork is not yours and that is is own by whoever DOES own it.
