Art is nothing about making things beautiful. It is a medium of expression at the peak of human experience, and there is a way of expressing otherwise inexpressible thoughts and emotions. It assumes abstract thinking such as emotions and experiences and forms it to be able to see in the tangible world. Whether paintings or sculptures, dance or performance art, the matters are very personal yet in appeal universal.
This therefore means that art beauty is in its diversity. Each offers a view, hence a different view on how to perceive the world. It accommodates endless interpretation. Where one may see something different from another person might think. Subjectivity remains one reason art becomes interesting and more durable.
Origins of Art
From ancient civilizations through to the times of a modern-day context, art in style, medium, or technique changes but does change. The former Egyptian and Greece used art just to hail gods, or celebrate rule, and sometimes immortal events. It came with the renaissance, thanks to Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who started focusing on humanity and, with it, the humanism that they spoke of, the majority of which relied upon the understanding of a human body to make expressions.
It was in the 19th and the 20th century when several movements like Impressionism, Surrealism, and Cubism became there to question what art actually should be. Ways through which reality is presented become transformed by Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí more oftentimes at the emotional levels than the literal ones.
