Art as
defined by
experts
Art is an expression of the feelings, imagination
and creativity of an individual. It has no
boundaries and it is of big help whenever we feel
the need to express what we feel at the moment.
In a nutshell, art entails expression, creation,
and purpose. Whenever we wanted to create
something, it is because of what we are
experiencing at the moment or in the past that
expression of oneself would somehow inspire or
help other people who are of the same plight
