</div>'''[[Art]]''', its broadest meaning, is the physical expression of creativity or imagination. The word art comes from the [[Latin]] '''''ars''''', which, loosely translated, means "arrangement". Art is commonly understood as the act of making material works (or ''artworks'') which, from concept to creation, hold a fidelity to the ''creative impulse'' — that is, 'art' is distinct from creative work that is driven by necessity (i.e. vocation), by biological drive (i.e. procreation), or by any undisciplined pursuit of [[recreation]]. The term ''creative arts'' denotes a collection of disciplines whose principal purpose is the output of material for the viewer or audience to interpret. As such, 'art' may be taken to include forms as diverse as [[prose]] [[writing]], [[poetry]], [[dance]], [[acting]] or [[drama]], [[music]], [[sculpture]], [[architecture]], and [[painting]]. ''Art'' may also be understood as relating to [[creativity]], [[aesthetics|æsthetics]] and the generation of [[emotion]]. |
