Art
refers to a diverse range of human activities, creations, and expressions
that are appealing or attractive to the senses or have some significance
to the mind of an individual. The word "art" may be used
to cover all or any of the arts, including music, literature and
other forms. It is most often used to refer specifically to the
visual arts, including media such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking.
However it can also be applied to forms of art that stimulate the
other senses, such as music, an auditory art. Aesthetics is the
branch of philosophy which considers art.

Traditionally
the term art was used to refer to any skill or mastery, a
concept which altered during the Romantic period, when art
came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind
to be classified with religion and science." Generally
art is a (product of) human activity, made with the intention
of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind;
by transmitting emotions and/or ideas. Beyond this description,
there is no general agreed-upon definition of art. Art is
also able to illustrate abstract thought and its expressions
can elicit previously hidden emotions in its audience.
