ART has
not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as Art
today may not have been perceived as such when it was first made, nor
was the person who made it necessarily regarded as an artist. Both the
notion of "art" and the idea of the "artist" are relatively modern
terms.
Many of the objects we identify as art today -- Greek painted
pottery, medieval manuscript illuminations, and so on -- were made in
times and places when people had no concept of "art" as we understand
the term. These objects may have been appreciated in various ways and
often admired, but not as "art" in the current sense.
creative, eye-catching.....
