What is art, this is a common question today and what do we mean by it? Why understanding this concept is so difficult? There is no proper definition of art. The term “art” comes from Latin word “ars” meaning, art, skill or craft. Art is an expression of our thoughts, emotions, intuitions and desires. The work of art may be direct or complex, intelligible or obscure, hope or despair, subtle or explicit.
