 | | The purpose of works of art may be to communicate ideas, such as in politically-, spiritually-, or philosophically-motivated art, to create a sense of beauty (see âaestheticsâ), to explore the nature of perception, for pleasure, or to generate strong emotions. |
 | | The creative arts (âartââ as discipline) are a collection of disciplines (âartsâ) which produce artworks (âartâ as objects) that is compelled by a personal drive (âartâ as activity) and echoes or reflects a message, mood, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret (âartâ as experience). |
 | | Art predates history; we have found sculptures, cave paintings, rock paintings and petroglyphs from the upper paleolithic starting roughly 40,000 years ago, but the precise meaning of such art is often disputed because we know so little with firmness about the cultures that produced them. |
