In a very broad sense, art is a work (usually an object or performance) that exhibits a human creative skill. Art encompasses a wide array of expressive forms including but not restricted to drawing, painting, poetry, writing, dance, film, and music. The earliest extant examples of pictorial art are the cave paintings of Chauvet in France which have been dated to 33,000 BCE.
The question of ‘what art is’ has been explored for centuries by philosophers, and more recently by academics specializing in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences who are interested in what art can reveal about individuals and society.
