What is art?

Back (Answer)

Art has many different meanings. The word art comes from a Latin term meaning "skill, way or method." However, over time, art has come to mean something that is appreciated for its aesthetic quality, over utility. Yet, beauty is subjective, and art is not always beautiful.
