What is art?

Stone age.

The Great Sphinx.

Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. It has 9 principles: Balance, unity, movement, rhytm, emphasis, proportion, pattern, variety and gradiation. And 7 elements: Color, form, shape, line, value, texture and space.

Among the earliest pieces of prehistoric sculpture that has been found is the Venus of Willendorf , c. 30,0000 - 25,000 BCE, limestone, height 11 cm, found in lower Austria, now in Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna. Clearly the female reproductive anatomy has been exagerrated, and therefore experts think it likely that it represented a fertility symbol, perhaps carried by a male hunter/gatherer as a reminder of his mate back home
