What is Art?

For a long time whenever I would hear the word Art the first thing that came to my mind was Drawings, paintings, sculptures, things I would do in my art classes at school. I later learned that Art is much more than that, it’s a way to express yourself and it can be found everywhere like for example architecture. Since I was little I enjoyed drawing and seeing how the use of different colors and shades could make things pop. Another form of art I enjoy and is part of my daily life is music. I express myself through the various music I listen too. While taking this class I would like to learn more about art in general, its vocabulary, techniques, its origins and how it has impacted it history.
