What is perceived as a work of art Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions.

From the Renaissance The Renaissance was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Florence in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. The term is also used more loosely to refer to the historic era, but since the changes of the Renaissance were not uniform across Europe, this is a general use of the until the twentieth century, and to some extent still, Western art critics An art critic is a person who specializes in evaluating art. Their written critiques, or reviews, are published in newspapers, magazines, books and on web sites. Art collectors and patrons often utilize the advice of art critics as a way to enhance their appreciation of the art they are viewing and the general western public tended not to define applied art Applied art refers to the application of design and aesthetics to objects of function and everyday use. Whereas fine arts serve as intellectual stimulation to the viewer or academic sensibilities, the applied arts incorporate design and creative ideals to objects of utility, such as a cup, magazine or decorative park bench or decorative art The decorative arts are traditionally defined as ornamental and functional works in ceramic, wood, glass, metal, textile. The field includes ceramics, glassware, furniture, furnishings, interior design, and architecture. The decorative arts are often categorized in opposition to the "fine arts", namely, painting, drawing, photography, as works of art, or at least to accord them lower status than works, like paintings, with no practical use, according to the hierarchy of genres In literature, the epic won hands down among classical critics, for the reason expressed by Dr. Johnson in his Life of John Milton: "By the general consent of criticks, the first praise of genius is due to the writer of an epick poem, as it requires an assemblage of all the powers which are singly sufficient for other compositions.".

The related terms artwork and art object, used especially in American English American English , is a set of dialects of the English language used mostly in the United States. Approximately two thirds of native speakers of English live in the United States, came into use in the 20th century, especially to describe modern and post-modern Postmodernism literally means 'after the modernist movement'. While "modern" itself refers to something "related to the present", the movement of modernism and the following reaction of postmodernism are defined by a set of perspectives. It is used in critical theory to refer to a point of departure for works of literature, art, especially in works without significant skill or craft in creating the physical object. Some contemporary works of art in conceptual art Conceptual art is art in which the concept or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns. Many of the works, sometimes called installations, of the artist Sol LeWitt may be constructed by anyone simply by following a set of written instructions. This method was fundamental to LeWitt's definition and other fields exist essentially as sets of instructions by the artist for the physical creation of the object, which is expected only to be physically created periodically—just as a piece of music or drama exists as a score or script. An example is Emergency Room Emergency Room is a format art project by Thierry Geoffroy, changing every 24th hour. The project has been activated in Copenhagen, Berlin, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center og Athens by Thierry Geoffroy Thierry Geoffroy , also known as Colonel, is a Danish-French artist. Living in Copenhagen, Denmark. Conceptual artist specialized in format art. Sometimes physical objects are transferred by the artist, but the work requires their arrangement in a specific form set out by the artist. In such cases the distinction between the terms is useful; the "work of art" has no permanent physical form, but sometimes manifests as a physical "art object." Equally a work of found art The term found art—more commonly found object or readymade—describes art created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function. Marcel Duchamp was the originator of this in the early 20th century may not change its physical properties, but becomes art when so presented by the artist.
The French French is a Romance language spoken, around the world, by about 77 million people as a first language (mother tongue), by 50 million as a second language, and by about another 200 million people as an acquired foreign language, with significant speakers in 54 countries[citation needed]. Most native speakers of the language live in France, where form of "art object," objet d'art, has been used for much longer in English and usually means a work of decorative or applied art.
To establish whether a work is a work of art, the concepts of attribution In the arts and antiques, attribution is the judgment by experts as to the authorship, date, or other aspect of the origin of a work of art or cultural artifact. Works "attributed" to an artist are more firmly believed to be theirs than those "ascribed" [disambiguation needed], artistic merit Categories: Censorship | Arts | Aesthetics | Self-censorship | and literary merit Literary merit is a quality of written work, generally applied to the genre of literary fiction. A work is said to have literary merit if it is a work of quality, that is if it has some aesthetic value. The concept of "literary merit" is practically impossible to define, and it is hard to see how such an idea can be used with any may be invoked.
Among practitioners of contemporary art Contemporary art can be defined variously as art produced at this present point in time or art produced since World War II. The definition of the word contemporary would support the first view, but museums of contemporary art commonly define their collections as consisting of art produced since World War II, various new media New media is a term meant to encompass the emergence of digital, computerized, or networked information and communication technologies in the later part of the 20th century objects such as the DVD DVD, also known as Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc, is an optical disc storage media format, and was founded in 1995. Its main uses are video and data storage. DVDs are of the same dimensions as compact discs , but store more than six times as much data, the web page A webpage or web page is a document or resource of information that is suitable for the World Wide Web and can be accessed through a web browser and displayed on a computer screen, and other interactive media Interactive media, a type of collaborative media, refers to media that allows for active participation by the recipient, hence interactivity. Traditional information theory would describe interactive media as those media that establish two-way communication. In media theory, interactive media are discussed along their cultural implications. The have been treated as art objects; such treatment frequently involves a formalist In art theory, formalism is the concept that a work's artistic value is entirely determined by its form--the way it is made, its purely visual aspects, and its medium. Formalism emphasizes compositional elements such as color, line, shape and texture rather than realism, context, and content. In visual art, formalism is the concept that everything (or "medium-specific") analysis. The formal analysis of computerized media has yielded such art movements An art movement is a tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time, or, at least, with the heyday of the movement more or less strictly so restricted . According to theories associated with the concept of postmodernism, art movements were especially important as internet art Internet art is art which uses the Internet as its primary medium or platform. Artists working in this manner are sometimes referred to as net artists and algorithmic art. The purpose of "new media objects" is not to replace traditional media, but to challenge old media.

Q. What would you do to make the ultimate, perfect work of art in photography?

A. Art is very subjective so what's "art" to one person will be just a picture to someone else. I think if a photo is composed with a lot of thought to pulling in the viewer, then the artist has achieved "art". It expresses something that the artist wants to tell the audience.
