“Works produced by human creative skill and imagination.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wikipedia<\/h3>\n

“Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author’s imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. In their most general\u00a0form, these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.”<\/p>\n

“Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts. Until the 17th century,\u00a0art referred\u00a0to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences.”<\/p>\n
