Women Artists ... Beginning in the late 1960s and 1970s, feminist artists and art historians created a Feminist art movement, that overtly addresses the role of women in the art world and explores women in art history... It is no exaggeration, then, to say that this art is the expression of the most genuine aspect of Indian civilization." Classical Europe and the Middle East In the earliest records of western cultures, few individuals are mentioned, although women are depicted in all of the art, some showing their labors as artists...

Art Glass ... Contemporary art glass As a small scale craft-based industry, contemporary art glass survives on the patronage of those with the means to buy, and supports artists who struggle to make a living using ever more expensive power and materials, and time-consuming, labour-intensive techniques which have changed little over centuries... However, those involved in the contemporary art glass scene often equate their passion to "art glass" as a whole... Modern stained art glass Modern stained glass is a new art glass technique being used to create increasingly intricate glass work...

Creativity ... Scholarly interest in creativity ranges widely: Topics to which it is relevant include the relationship between creativity and general intelligence; the mental and neurological processes associated with creative activity; the relationship between personality type and creative ability; the relationship between creativity and mental health; the potential for fostering creativity through education and training, especially as augmented by technology; and the application of an individual's existing creative resources to improve the effectiveness of learning processes and of the teaching processes tailored to them. Creativity and creative acts are therefore studied across several disciplines - psychology, cognitive science, education, philosophy (particularly philosophy of science), technology, theology, sociology, linguistics, business studies, and economics...

Art ... Many definitions of art have been proposed by philosophers and others who have characterized art in terms of mimesis, expression, communication of emotion, or other values... During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science"... Definition Britannica Online defines art as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others." By this definition of the word, artistic works have existed for almost as long as humankind: from early pre-historic art to contemporary art; however, some theories restrict the concept to modern Western societies...

Prehistoric Art ... From the Upper Palaeolithic through the Mesolithic, cave paintings and portable art such as figurines and beads predominated, with decorative figured workings also seen on some utilitarian objects... The advent of metalworking in the Bronze Age brought additional media available for use in making art, an increase in stylistic diversity, and the creation of objects that did not have any obvious function other than art... Palaeolithic era Middle Paleolithic The earliest undisputed art originated with the Aurignacian archaeological culture in the Upper Paleolithic...

History Of Literature ... Moreover, it must be borne in mind that, given the significance of distance as a cultural isolator in earlier centuries, the historical development of literature did not occur at an even pace across the world. The problems of creating a uniform global history of literature are compounded by the fact that many texts have been lost over the millennia, either deliberately, by accident, or by the total disappearance of the originating culture...

Fine Art ... Today, the fine arts commonly include the visual art and performing art forms, such as painting, sculpture, collage, decollage, assemblage, installation, calligraphy, music, dance, theatre, architecture, film, photography, conceptual art, and printmaking... However, in some institutes of learning or in museums fine art, and frequently the term fine arts (pl.) as well, are associated exclusively with visual art forms... Background One definition of fine art is "a visual art considered to have been created primarily for aesthetic purposes and judged for its beauty and meaningfulness, specifically, painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor, graphics, and architecture." The word "fine" does not so much denote the quality of the artwork in question, but the purity of the discipline...
