Art

When I think of art I think of anything that was created using your imagination, or by using the talents that you have. Painting, music and dance are some of the main forms of art that come to my mind first. Art can be anything that was created or an original idea, or something that inspires people who view it, or the artist. In the Diderot d' Alembert artical of art, they say that art is a metaphysical term. It also states that some products of art were created my the mind and others by the hands. I am not sure what they mean by art coming from the mind, because I would think creativity would all originally come from the mind to begin with. I think of art in simple terms, but the art artical makes it seem extremely complicated to understand. When I think of the different machines of art I at first think of the simple things such as paint brushes, sculpting tools, big machines etc. Then I think of the mind, and the body. They say in the artical that a clock is a machine, and i guess a clock can be art.

This artical was really confusing for me.....
