Art is the creation of something beautiful and meaningful using your skills and imagination power. As we know practice is the only way to make us perfect, so art is all about practice, until and unless you are satisfied with the desired result. The way art is perceived has not changed history but has also impacted the thoughts and cultures.  The term ‘art’ is sourced from the Latin word ‘ars’, which means, art, skill, or craft. The art word has been used in 13th-century manuscripts to be precise.

Generally, the definition of art falls under 3 categories :

1. Art as Representation :

Plato was the first person to coin the idea of art as ‘mimesis’.  In Greek, mimesis means copying or imitation. For this reason, for centuries, the primary meaning of art was defined as the mimicking or replication of something very beautiful and elegant. But by the end of the eighteenth century, a work of art was valued based on how beautifully it represented the subject.  This kind of art has profoundly impacted modern and contemporary artists. Representational art still exists today, but you can’t measure an art’s value only through this, we have to take into account the other attributes as well to consider an art perfect.

2. Art as Expression of Emotional Content :

When you see art as representation, the attribute that sits right beside it is the expression of emotion. Is your art sublime? Or it’s dramatic? This could be understood only when the art is expressing a definite feeling.  Audience response is very important, if the audience can evoke an emotional response, and connect with the art,  then only the artwork is a success.

3. Art as Form :

Immanuel Kant, an influential early theorist, believed that art should be judged only on its formal qualities. Formal qualities started playing an important role when art became more abstract in the 20th century, and the principles of art and design were used to define and assess art.

The formal qualities and principles of art are :

1. Balance
2. Rhythm
3. Harmony
4. Unity
