"Art" is a diverse realm of human expression that encompasses various media, including "painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, decorative arts, photography", and "installation". It involves conscious creation through skill and imagination, resulting in visual or auditory artifacts. These artworks are intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power². In essence, art reflects the artist's creativity, technical prowess, and the desire to communicate ideas, emotions, or experiences with others. Whether it's a captivating painting, a thought-provoking sculpture, or a harmonious musical composition, art enriches our lives and provides a window into the human experience.
