Etymologically, the word Art comes from the Latin "ars, artis", and from the Greek "τέχνη (téchne)", meaning "technique". Hence it was used in ancient times to refer also to professions such as blacksmithing, in addition to disciplines, such as poetry, painting or music.
The Arts seek to represent, through different means, the universe of human concerns, whether real or imaginary, through the use of symbols, emblems, signs and allegories.
The expression "art" is also used for the delight of the senses, and is a word used to indicate the capacity or ability to create something with excellence, skill, expertise and ability.
Art is any form of expression of the creative character that human beings possess. It is man's ability to represent their feelings, emotions and perceptions about their experiences and the environment that surrounds them. Through the different artistic disciplines, an individuals can express what they are and what they feel.
The advance of new technologies has allowed the creation and development of new art forms. However, not all historians and philosophers agree with the current definition of art.
