art is dead

The statement that the attempt to convey meaning through representation has run its course, and cannot be improved upon, only repeated like a ritual in a vain attempt to recreate the original feeling of "novelty"

Also, could refer to an actual person named Art, who is now deceased.

Arts Degree

A university degree that offers students the ability to study a wide range of subjects, but ultimately learn nothing. The arts degree provides a broad college experience, but extremely bad job prospects.
Arts students will often try to disguise their choice of course by naming the individual subjects they're doing, e.g. 'Theology and Sociology', 'Anthropology, Quantitave Economics and Medieval German'.(Nice try, it's still arts!)
Having only 8-12 hours of college a week (including tutorials, practicals, study and any other work their course 'demands') leaves arts students with a lot of free time. This free time is usually taken up with protests, smoking weed, sleeping, attending concerts or styling their hair/applying fake tan.

Electronic Arts

Evil bastards, cheap rich idiots, and over all assholes. Known mostly by the name E.A. because of it's initials. Worst thing is, it can make pretty good games sometimes.

art envy

when you are so crap at art that you think everybody else's artwork is bullshit
"James could not appreciate the Mona Lisa because he was overcome with art envy. Earlier on that day he had painted a face that resembled pubic but hair. He was very angry. So angry that he savaged a wild pig on his way home."

Bert: "Hey what do you think of my painting? I spent the last three weeks on it not stop, it was a pretty big job. I put a lot of time and effort into this..."
James: "-It's shit."

Arts and Crafters

Arts and Crafters is a giant sock puppet who comes from the game, Baldi's Basics, he is mostly shy and doesn't interact with characters that much. The only time he interacts with the protagonist (or antagonist) is when you collect all 7/7 notebooks. He will charge at you teleporting you and Baldi in the same room (The starting point of the game), and never appearing again. After he charges at you, he doesn't show up again, and you can't outrun him because he is extremely fast. (You can avoid this by not looking at him)
Ahhh Arts and Crafters truly an incredible sock puppet, I've never seen one like it!
