- Abstract:
- For a practice that has followed humanity since the dawn of consciousness, the question 'What is Art?' is notoriously difficult to answer. The Oxford English Dictionary, typically an authority when it comes to definition, calls art "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."
