Definitions
In the most basic, abstract definition, art is a figurative understanding of reality ; the process or result of the expression of the internal or external (in relation to the creator) of the world in an artistic image ; creativity aimed in such a way that it reflects the interest not only of the author himself, but also of other people. The act of creating an expression itself may also be referred to as a particular art form or as art in general.
