Art is an essential part of our life and it has a very long history. For centuries people have been creating, developing art, making attempts to bring it to perfection. Nowadays we are surrounded by art, we can feel its influence almost everywhere. But do we often question ourselves what art is? Probably not.
So, it is time to learn the definition of art.
The world-known English dictionaries give a lot explanations of the concept "art".
1. Oxford Dictionary: art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
2. Merriam-Webster Dictionary: art is the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects.
3. Collins Cobuild Advanced Dictionary: art is paintings, sculptures and other pictures or objects which are created for people to look at, admire or think deeply about.
In addition to these definitions I have made my own.
Art is a process of connection of artist's imagination, perception of the world with his mental health, state of mind at the present moment and his endowments, that leads to creation of a little miracle.
