A horse is a horse and not art.
A spoon is a spoon and not art.
But if a hundred tiny horses are carved artfully into the spoon, then it
   is a useless spoon and not art.
A mosaic, like an oil painting, is meant to be seen and not eaten.
If the mosaic is beautiful, however, then it is art.
Decorative art is when the stork brings a garland instead of a rectangle.
You can sit, lie, sleep, or stand on a rug.
Nonetheless a rug can be sublime art.
In such a case I would advise you to sit on something else.
