what is art?
“The word art from the Aryan root ar, which means “to
put together” or “to join”. Also, the Latin Term sars,
artis mean everything that is artificially made or
composed by man. Art constitutes some of the oldest and
most important means of expression developed by man.

ART IS SUBJECTIVE: IT EMPLOYS THE USE OF PERCEPTION, INSIGHTS,

FEELINGS AND INTUITION.

ART IS MAN’S EXPRESSION OF HIMSELF AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND HOW HE

VIEWS HIS EXISTENCE.

ART ALSO PROVIDES ENJOYMENT AND STIMULATION, PARTICULARLY

WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO DEEPEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING.

ART PROVIDES PEOPLE WITH AN IMAGE OF THEMSELVES TO ENABLE

THEM TO FURTHER UNDERSTAND THEIR NATURE AND PROVIDE THEM WITH

A WAY TO SHOWCASE THEIR PASSIONS AND DESIRES, THEIR POTENTIALS

AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP CATERS TO OTHER PEOPLE .

“Art is not good because it is old, but old because
it is beautiful.”(Dudley,et al.1960)

own emotions and at the same time create something
beautiful out of them.”
