Dallas Art Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. In their most general form these actions include the creation of works of art, the criticism of art, the research of the history of art, and also the aesthetic dissemination of art. The earliest documented forms of artwork are visual arts, which include creation of objects or images in fields such as today painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Architecture is frequently included among the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, or marketing, it involves the creation of items in which the practical considerations of use are essential-in a manner they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, in addition to literature and other media like interactive media, are contained in a wider definition of artwork or the arts. Until the 17th century, artwork referred to any skill or mastery and wasn't distinguished from sciences or crafts. In modern use after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills generally, such as the cosmetic or applied arts. Art might be distinguished in terms of mimesis (its representation of fact), narrative (storytelling), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. During the period, art came to be seen as "a distinctive school of the body to be categorized with religion and science". Although the definition of exactly what constitutes art is disputed and has shifted over time, general descriptions cite an concept of technical or creative ability stemming from individual creation and agency. The character of art and related concepts, such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics. Dallas Art
