For the "...evoke emotions, convey ideas or create beauty" - I will agree, that's art speaking.
But for "conscious expression"
No, art can be unplanned too.
If consciousness was the guiding key, then you might compromise authenticity trying to achieve conventional standards. Then all cups would be looking the same.
And We will start drifting to architecture and science.
Then you said "Skilled."
Skill is subjective.
What, say musician, can we all agree to be "skilled?"
None.
"Often intended to" limits the entire art process to simply doing a result focused job.
Summary: If you view it and it speaks to you, then it's probably art.
It doesn't have to be conscious or skilled or intended to.

I still stand by my "can mean different thing to different people"
