Art is a special form of human form-creative activity that creates figurative and symbolic structures that have aesthetic, cognitive and communication functions. In this sense, art is understood as a creative activity aimed at creating works of art, more broadly, aesthetically expressive forms. The term "art" is also used to denote not only works of art, products of artistic activity, but also such concepts as "skill", "skill", "artistry" and the like, manifested in any other field of activity (in craft, science, technology, etc.). others), often not directly related to art, but certainly indicating that the creative principle is explicitly or implicitly present in them. In the process of human development, the concept of “art” is connoted by historical changes (transformations) of forms and types of culture, their interactions, and, accordingly, by the nature of philosophical, art history, artistic reflections, and by now it is a multidimensional semantic formation, fundamentally open to the inclusion of new semantic elements, generated by the incessantly lasting and transforming artistic and aesthetic experience of mankind, including the development of intercultural ties, communications, exchanges, technologies that provide and support creativity and the transmission of its products in society.
