Painting, sculpture, music, literature, film, and other mediums are just a few examples of the many ways

that art is used by people to express themselves. Without being constrained by words or reasoning, art
enables people to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It can inspire creativity, beauty, and
amusement as well as thought, criticism, and societal change. For thousands of years, art has been a
significant element of human civilization and has shaped our sense of who we are as a species and how
the world works.
