What is Art?
• Art is Art, Art is everywhere.• Art is a way for people to express themselves. • Art is a form by which we perceive the beauty that is
around and within us.• Art is something you can see, hear and experience in
a creative way. • Art is something that touches a person’s soul. Art is
visual and emotional. • Art is the unique ability human beings have to
celebrate themselves & their world, feelings, fear, and dreams, etc.
