 The word 'art' comes from Latin ars and meant skill or craft based on the Indo-European meaning "to arrange". Today 'art' is generally understood to be the results and process of making something that has not existed before and is not a necessity as in biological survival.
Artistic expression includes writing (language), acting and dance (movement), music (sound), painting, photography & film (light / visual), sculpting and architecture (form & line), and is sometimes differentiated as being "fine" or "applied". "Fine art" refers to the "purity of the discipline" or purpose; "applied art" refers to objects created for functional and everyday use where the creator of the work may be called a craftsperson.
