What Is Art? what is the different artwork?

Art is an activity or creation by human beings. An artwork expresses an idea or feeling that the artist conceives in his mind and through his skill communicates to people.

Some artworks are useful for practical purposes in everyday life and some are just for feeling and thinking. Most people think that art is an expression of creativity and intelligence. Art has many forms which include painting, sculpture, architecture, dance, music, poetry, theatre and prose. The number of people who can relate to it, and how much people appreciate it. There can be good art or bad art depending upon the quality of its components such as intelligence, creativity, skill, and communication. There can also be great art in which all components become a perfect mix. Great art not only influences people of its time but it continues to inspire people in later generations.

Art can be realistic or abstract. Realistic artworks are imitations; they portray a real-life object or situation in maximum detail. Abstract art does not imitate objects or situations completely. It takes some parts into account and omits others. But there is always a concept or idea that inspires an artist to select certain parts from a real thing to convey his or her message. For example, an artist can see a human being only in terms of shape. He would see him as a mixture of geometrical forms such as circle, square and triangle.

Another important feature of art is to explore and express beauty. When an artist captures the beauty of a landscape he thinks in utmost detail and feels beauty in all its finer shades. In the language of art, when beauty is seen in its finer shades it is called aesthetic.

Art critics and art historians give paramount importance to aesthetics when they discuss an artwork. An artist, therefore, makes his or her audience to think and feel deeply and also improves their aesthetic sense and taste. This function of art is important for the growth of people in a society. This makes art a creative process that elevates a human being spiritual. And, this is why an artist is supposed to be an intelligent human being with a sensitive heart. If he stops taking care of what he is communicating then he may contribute to the decline of a nation.
