what is art? who created it?
Answers
Answer:
Art is a creative activity that expresses imaginative or technical skil.
The origins of art are therefore much more ancient and lie within Africa, before worldwide human dispersal. The earliest known evidence of 'artistic behaviour' is of human body decoration, including skin colouring with ochre and the use of beads, although both may have had functional origins.

There are many common definitions of art. Few to quote:
Art is:
* any creative work of a human being
* a form of expressing oneself
* resides in the quality of doing; the process is not magic
* an act of making something visually entertaining
* an activity that manifests the beauty (What is Beauty in Art?)
* the mastery, an ideal way of doing things
* not a thing — it is a way (Elbert Hubbard)
* the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known
* discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms suitable for human use (Frank Lloyd Wright)
Plato first developed the idea of art as “mimesis,” which, in Greek, means copying or imitation. For this reason, the primary meaning of art was, for centuries, defined as the representation or replication of something that is beautiful or meaningful.
