It fulfills a human need to express skill &/or creativity.

To both earlier comments:
But if it was just to communicate then is the newspaper or your letter from Mom art?

And if expressing skill or creativity makes something art then is a highly skilled surgeon an artist and the body he just worked on art? Many psychotics think creatively, does that make them artists?
