Art
Art has been defined by one dictionary as "the expression or application of human
creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture,
producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power,"
but it is much more than that. Art encompasses the appreciation of art, and includes
such skills as painting, drawing, sculpture.
