I consider Volleyball to be a form of art. For me, volleyball allows me to become a completely different person when I play, which is completely different from when I play other sports like soccer or skating.

I don’t believe my example follows Tolstoy’s definition of art 100%, but it does fit in certain categories. Playing Volleyball allows me to accept it’s purpose of feeling pleasured but I wouldn’t considered it to be a condition of the human life. I do believe it does allow others to be infected and convey their positive emotions and feelings. I agree somewhat with what Tolstoy believes because I do believe that art or any form of art can be infectious in nature but not all art has to be infectious. A quote that Tolstoy presents is “If only the spectators or auditors are infected by the feelings which the author has felt, it is art.” This quote resonates with the reason I chose Volleyball as a form of art.

Very nice blog I remember your presentation on it and it was nice seeing how art can be as diverse as to enter the sports industry.
