Art
The term “art” is related to the Latin word “ars” meaning, art, skill, or craft. The first known use of the word comes from 13th-century manuscripts. However, the word art and its many variants (artem, eart, etc.) have probably existed since the founding of Rome.
Art as Representation or Mimesis. Plato first developed the idea of art as “mimesis,” which, in Greek, means copying or imitation. For this reason, the primary meaning of art was, for centuries, defined as the representation or replication of something that is beautiful or meaningful.
Art as Expression of Emotional Content: Artwork was intended to evoke an emotional response.
Art as Form. Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) was one of the most influential of the early theorists toward the end of the 18th century. He believed that art should not have a concept but should be judged only on its formal qualities because the content of a work of art is not of aesthetic interest.
We cannot escape viewing works of art in the context of time and circumstance, whether past or present as art is still being created all around us, opening our eyes almost daily to new experiences and thus forcing us to adjust our sights?”
Quotes
There are as many ways to define art as there are people in the universe, and each definition is influenced by the unique perspective of that person, as well as by their own personality and character. For example:

Leo Tolstoy
Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands-on to others feelings he has lived through, and that others are infected by these feelings and also experience them.
Theory Of Relative Art
Conflict between “Art” and “Science.” This conflict signified what Pinhas Cohen Gan called “The Theory of Relative Art” – An epistemology within the framework of the laws of artistic creativity perceived as a system of dynamic attributions of culture and the varying laws of nature.
