Art refers to a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts.

These
artworks express the author's imaginative or technical skill. Art is intended to be appreciated for its beauty
or emotional power. In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the
criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.

Art has had a great number of different functions throughout its history

Art can have a personal function, it is an expression of basic human instinct for harmony, balance, rhythm.

On the other hand art may have a social function. At its simplest, art is a form of communication. It seeks to
entertain and bring about a particular emotion or mood, for the purpose of relaxing or entertaining the
viewer. Art may also be an expression of social protest, seeking to question aspects of society.

abstract art, also called nonobjective art or nonrepresentational art, painting, sculpture, or graphic art in
which the portrayal of things from the visible world plays little or no part. All art consists largely of elements
that can be called abstract—elements of form, colour, line, tone, and texture. Prior to the 20th century
these abstract elements were employed by artists to describe, illustrate, or reproduce the world of nature
and of human civilization—and exposition dominated over expressive function.

Impressionism was a radical art movement that began in the late 1800s, centered primarily around Parisian
painters. Impressionists rebelled against classical subject matter and embraced modernity, desiring to
create works that reflected the world in which they lived. Uniting them was a focus on how light could
define a moment in time, with color providing definition instead of black lines. The Impressionists
emphasized the practice of plein air painting, or painting outside. Initially derided by critics, Impressionism
has since been embraced as one of the most popular and influential art styles in Western history.

Expressionism, artistic style in which the artist seeks to depict not objective reality but rather the
subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse within a person. The artist accomplishes
this aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy and through the vivid, jarring, violent,
or dynamic application of formal elements. In a broader sense Expressionism is one of the main currents of
art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and its qualities of highly subjective, personal, spontaneous
self-expression are typical of a wide range of modern artists and art movements.

a style of art that stresses abstract structure at the expense of other pictorial elements especially by
displaying several aspects of the same object simultaneously and by fragmenting the form of depicted
objects. Cubism began in the early 20th century, when artists started experimenting with abstract works,
attempting to show many angles and planes simultaneously. They rejected realistic perspective and tone,
not even trying to make their paintings look three-dimensional. Cubism was all about breaking up images
and reassembling them into small, flat shapes instead. The term cubism was coined after a French art critic
derided what he called "bizarreries cubiques," or "cubic oddities."

A twentieth-century literary, philosophical and artistic movement that explored the workings of the mind,
championing the irrational, the poetic and the revolutionary. Surrealism aims to revolutionize human
experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and
dreams. The movement’s artists find magic and strange beauty in the unexpected

The movement’s aspiration towards the liberation of the mind as well as the liberation of artistic
expressions has also meant seeking political freedom. In many instances, these artists have turned to
political activism. In this way, the revolutionary concepts encouraged by Surrealism has led the movement
to be seen as a way of life.
