ART IS…

➢ By definition, all art is the expression of emotion and imagination. It

begins with a concept or idea and blooms in the artist’s mind.

➢ It is not an expression of technology which helps physical comfort, i.e.

civil engineering, carpentry, welding

➢ It is an expression of emotional comfort, an outlet for emotions on a

much more physical plane, i.e. mime, street plays for a social issue or a
calm sunset for relaxing the mind
