Art is a term that describes a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities, but is most often understood to refer to painting , film , photography , sculpture , and other visual media. Music , theatre , dance , literature , and interactive media are included in a broader definition of art or the arts . [ 1 ] Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences, but in modern usage the fine arts are distinguished from acquired skills in general. Many definitions of art have been proposed by philosophers and others who have characterized art in terms of mimesis , expression, communication of emotion, or other values. During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science". [ 2 ] The nature of art, and related concepts such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics . [ 3 ]

Cosmic Animations Capture A Surprising Reality
When I first ran across these cosmically captivating animations by Ignacio Torres, I was sure the sparkling clouds in the images where created on a computer… it really surprised me when I found out they are actually made of colored dust and reflective confetti!

Bryan Lewis Saunders is Chasing the American Dream (By Taking a Lot of Drugs).
Bryan Lewis Saunders is an artist without any doubt --- when he creates things, people break down and cry. In short, he is a great leader of catharsis and true emotional expression in a modern world of nervous silence. Although Saunders is renowned mostly for his spoken word poetry, he has earned himself a fair deal of notoriety with one specific project of his - testing and artistically showing the effects of various illicit substances. Each day, through a series of self portraits, Bryan Lewis Saunders opens a new chemical doorway - and sketches his visions and experiences of the unknown pleasures that lie waiting beyond.Brendon Grimshaw was editor to some of the most important newspapers in Africa. But in 1972, he gave it all up to go and live on Moyenne Island, which he purchased for ten thousand pounds. In the thirty-six-years that he has lived on the island, Brendon and his friend, Rene Lafortune, planted sixteen-thousand trees, built 4,8 kilometres of nature paths, and brought and bred 110 giant land tortoises, creating an island of incredible beauty now worth 34 million Euros.
