2. What is art?




The Collins dictionary definines 'Art' as 'the creation of works of beauty or other special significance' and 'Fine Art' as 'art produced chiefly for its aesthetic value'.

These definitions explain the understanding that art is characterised as the expression or communication of emotion or other value, and that in the case of fine art it is expressed through a visual component like painting, sculpture, collage, decollage, assemblage, installation, calligraphy, music, dance, theatre, architecture, film, photography, conceptual art, and printmaking.





Digital art is a general term for a range of artistic works and practices that use digital technology as an essential part of the creative and/or presentation process. 

This term describes anything from entirely computer generated works like fractal and algorithmic art through to scanned photographs and images drawn using graphics software and a mouse or tablet.
