Art, theproduct of creative human activity in which materials are shaped or selected to convey an idea, emotion, or visuallyinteresting form. The word art can refer to the visual arts, including painting, sculpture, architecture,photography, decorative arts, crafts, and other visual works that combine materials or forms. Wealso use the word art in a more general sense to encompass other forms ofcreative activity, such as dance and music, or even to describe skill in almost any activity, such as“the art of bread making” or “the artof travel.” Art history is the study of works of art in their historicalcontext.Styles change through time and artists introduce newmaterials, techniques, subject matter, andpurposes for art. Art historians study such changes and use them to determinethe chronological periods and approximate datesof art works. A work of art can reflect the historical period or context in which it was made byrepresenting society’s assumptions aboutpeople, by depicting customs or rituals, or by showing us what was thoughtbeautiful, ornamental, or fashionable. In addition tothese aspects of art, art historians study the lives of artists, including their training and practices.Art historians answerfundamentalquestions about art objects, such as: Who made the work?When was it made? How was it made? Whatwas its purpose? What did it mean?
