Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging symbolic elements in a way that

influences and affects the senses, emotions, and/or intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of
human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film,
photography, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy
known as aesthetics and even disciplines such as history and psychoanalysis analyze its
relationship with humans and generations.

Traditionally, the term art was used to refer to any skill or mastery. This conception changed
during the Romantic period, when art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to
be classified with religion and science".[1] Generally, art is made with the intention of stimulating
thoughts and emotions

I could tell you that art plays a large part in making our lives infinitely rich. Imagine, just for a minute,
a world without art! (You may think "So what?" but please consider the impact that lack of graphics
would have on your favorite video game.) Art stimulates different parts of our brains to make us
laugh or incite us to riot, with a whole gamut of emotions in between. Art gives us a way to
be creative and express ourselves. For some people, art is the entire reason they get out of bed in
the morning. You could say "Art is something that makes us more thoughtful and well-rounded
humans."

On the other hand, art is such a large part of our everyday lives that we may hardly even stop to think
about it. Look at the desk or table where you are, right this minute. Someone designed that.
It is art. Your shoes are art. Your coffee cup is art. All functional design, well done, is art.
So, you could say "Art is something that is both functional and (hopefully) aesthetically
pleasing to our eyes."
