Art is very important in our lives. It constitutes one of the oldest and most important
means of expression developed by man. Art has been existence since men have lived together.
In fact, in nearly every country, art can be found in primitive societies. Art has been created by
all people at all times; it has lived because it is liked and enjoyed. A true work of art is made by
