My Notes
wHAT IS ART?
Art is that which brings life in harmony with the beauty of the beauty of the world. – Plato
Art is the medium by which the artist communicates with his fellow. – Van Dyke
Art is anything made or done by man that affects or moves us so that we see or feel the beauty in it. – Collins and Riley
Art is taken from the Italian word “artis”, which means craftsmanship, skill, mastery of form and ideas, between materials and techniques. – A. Tan
Art is a reflection or a mirror of beauty. – Aristotle
Arts is hard to explain because it is relative to the person. An art may look like trash or garbage to others but for its creator it is a master piece. Simply put, art is an expression of a person's feelings through his creative mind.
