Description
Art is the expression of human creativity and its communication through visual mediums. Art history is the academic study of the historical progress, development and timelines of the various visual arts and their expressions by use of line, shape, colour, form, texture, and space. This includes painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, videography, filmmaking, design, crafts and architecture, naming a few. Art history also analyses cultural, political, religious, and economic factors, which contribute to the appearance of visual works of art.
