Overview of ART
Art refers to a diverse range of human activities and artifacts, and may be used to cover all or any of the arts, including music, literature and other forms. It is most often used to refer specifically to the visual arts, including mediums such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking. However it can also be applied to forms of art that stimulate the other senses, such as music, an auditory art. Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy which considers art.

 

Generally art is a (product of) human activity, made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind; by transmitting emotions and/or ideas. Beyond this description, there is no general agreed-upon definition of art, since defining the boundaries of "art" is subjective.

 

 

Tools needed for ART
Art tools can generally be purchased from actual and online art supply shops.  There is such a diversity of arts to do, that it is impossible to list a specific set of tools for just one type of art.  When searching for tools for a specific art form such as painting, looking at an art supplies store, they will generally group certain types of tools together.

 

 

How to get started in ART
The best way to start in an art form is to join an art class, or buy a book that details the specific art form you are interested in.  Once you see that you actually have talent, and are able to successfully create pieces of art, then investing in all the correct tools, is a good idea.
