Art - Any human creation which contains an idea other than its utilitarian purpose.
Under this definition, Art has no direct utilitarian purpose. This is
what makes artistic objects different than utensils. And this is what
makes artistic "scenes", "acts", or "words" different than normal
"behaving", "walking", "running", or "speaking". The difference between
"purpose" and "idea" is the base for the "distinction" of Art. The
"purpose" of Art lies purely in its ability to portray a concept, an
idea.
