Culture and Art

General definition of art is: It is the creation of something that is “ aesthetically pleasant”.
Things which generally come under the arts are following:
- Literature – which includes novels, short stories, biographies, drama and poetry.
- Fine arts – referring to (vzťahuje sa na ) painting sculpture and architecture.
- Performing arts (predvádzacie umenia)- they are represented by dance, opera, cinema, TV, theatre, ballet and concerts (rock, classical, country and western music).

There are different point of views on culture and art. For many people art is useless because it does not feed our body or clothe people, it does not heal the sick and so on. In spite of this fact we realise that the art has always had its steady place in our life.
