For me, anything that has had a significant amount of work into it is a piece of art. Grabbing 3 buckets of paint and throwing them randomly on a canvas might give a cool result but it's not art IMO.
Some people are so full of themselves that they call any random idea they produce art. Frame a turd, put it on the wall, you'll just have a turd on the wall, not a piece of art. It seems to be a trend lately though, all these self proclaimed 'abstract artists' who even get paid to come up with idiotic ideas. I remember a certain gallery that had a toilet on display, was supposed to be art according to the artist (read: dude who bought toilet at store).
