I don't necessarily get art. 

Some of it is pretty; some is fascinating. Sure...

What I don't get is where artists come up with their ideas. Who, for example, thinks to himself, "I'm going to make portraits of all the presidents" then goes way out of his comfort zone to produce sculptures, papercrafts, masks, drawings, paintings, and mixed media products?

Clearly, this guy does...
