Art How Humans Express Themselves

I, myself, believe that art is a way that we as humans express themselves. Art is older than recorded history itself. We have created many forms to communicate what we see, hear or feel. Great books on art capture the best of the best and some of the worst of the worst. 

From Wikipedia, "The first and broadest sense of "art" is the one that has stayed closest to the older Latin meaning, which roughly translates to "skill" or "craft," and also from an Indo-European root meaning "arrangement" or "to arrange." In this sense, art is whatever is described as having undergone a deliberate process of arrangement by an agent" or artist. 

I find it difficult not to be awed by the art of metal sculpturing that artist display their skills. Whether the material is iron, copper or bronze or the interpretation is classical or modern it is a great art form. The feelings can certainly be aroused when viewing the craft of metal sculpturing. 
The eras of such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco have come and gone, but have left beautiful examples of creativity art forms such as jewelry, glass, ceramics and furniture. Not matter what era or region for that matter, art gives depth to the rich history of mans journey in life. 

Music is another great art form.  From the very basic notes man creates a reflection the time we live in. From the great symphonies to rap, music is constantly revolving, to express the era or set groups apart. Man uses music in many ways to set himself apart from other creatures, to proclaim that he is different than any one else.
