WHAT IS ART?

Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture, and paintings.

Art tends to facilitate intuitive rather than rational understanding, and is usually consciously created with this intention.
