Clip Art Art

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.

Defining art became especially difficult in the twentieth century, when photography gave humanity the ability to capture the almost perfect essence of a situation. Up until this point art had often been judged based on its ability to replicate reality. Once cameras, and later video recording devices became widespread, the ability of someone to reproduce reality was no longer as important as ideas of message, emotion, and meaning.

Defining art is one of the most difficult philosophical challenges that we face. Everybody has an opinion on beauty, and most of these opinions contradict one another. When you incorporate money, politics, and power into the equation, it becomes difficult to see an integrated definition being illuminated any time soon.
