• Art is defined 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.

• The arts represent an outlet of expression, usually influenced by culture and which in turn
helps to change culture. As such, the arts are a physical manifestation of the internal
creative impulse.

• literature – including poetry, novels and short stories, and epics;

• performing arts – among them music, dance, and theatre;
• culinary arts such as baking, chocolatiering, and winemaking;
• media arts like photography and cinematography, and
• visual arts – including drawing, painting, ceramics, and sculpting.
• Some art forms combine a visual element with performance (e.g. film) and the written
word (e.g. comics).

• From prehistoric cave paintings to modern day films, art serves as a vessel for storytelling
and conveying humankind's relationship with its environment.
