Art defies precise definition simply because it has so many and such various forms. The story of art through the ages is the story of humanity's continuing search for appropriate forms to express its experience of the world and the aspirations of the human spirit.The word 'art' is derived from the Latin words 'ars' and 'art is'. It has also roots in Greek word 'aro'. All these words mean 'to join', 'to compose', 'to be felt', 'to create', 'to fabricate' or 'to meet some special purpose'. More precisely it is an essence of appreciation, it is a question of right feelings and right values. It is an awareness and appreciation of things of beauty. Beauty is truth and truth is beauty. Art is truth, all pervading truth and appreciation of truth.
