- a Sculpture (a three-dimensional art form, such as **Michelangelo's "David"** or **Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker"**).
- a Ceramic Art (an artistic creation made from clay, such as ancient **Chinese porcelain vases** from the Ming Dynasty).
- a Music Piece (an auditory art piece, like **Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9"** or **John Cage's experimental composition "4'33"**).
- a Dance Piece (a performing art form, such as **Martha Graham's "Appalachian Spring"** or **Swan Lake** by Tchaikovsky).
- an Artistic Poem (a literary art piece, such as **Maya Angelou's "Still I Rise"**, expressing empowerment and resilience through poetic language).
- an AI-Generated Art Piece, where an AI art generator autonomously creates images or sculptures, like **"Théâtre D’opéra Spatial"** by **Jason Allen**, a digital artwork created using **MidJourney**.
- a Gourmet Dish as Art (a culinary creation considered a form of art, as seen in **Ferran Adrià's molecular gastronomy dishes**, where the presentation and flavors merge science with creativity).
- a Perfume Creation (a fragrant art piece, such as **Chanel No. 5**, designed to evoke emotions and memories through scent).
- a Textile Art (a tactile art form, such as **quilts made by the Gee's Bend quilters**, where texture, color, and cultural storytelling are woven together).

- Counter-Example(s):
- a Utilitarian Item, which serves a purely functional purpose without intentional aesthetic value, such as a mass-produced hammer or a generic kitchen appliance.
- a Mass-Produced Good designed for practicality rather than artistic expression, such as flat-pack furniture.
- a Natural Object like a mountain range or a sunset, while beautiful, is not an intentionally created art piece.

- A work of art, artwork, [1] art piece, piece of art or art object is an artistic creation of aesthetic value. Except for "work of art", which may be used of any work regarded as art in its widest sense, including works from literature and music, these terms apply principally to tangible, physical forms of visual art: *An example of fine art, such as a painting or sculpture. *An object that has been designed specifically for its aesthetic appeal, such as a piece of jewellery. *An object that has been designed for aesthetic appeal as well as functional purpose, as in interior design and much folk art. *An object created for principally or entirely functional, religious or other non-aesthetic reasons which has come to be appreciated as art (often later, or by cultural outsiders).
- A non-ephemeral photograph or film.
- A work of installation art or conceptual art.
- Used more broadly, the term is less commonly applied to:
- A fine work of architecture or landscape design.
- A production of live performance, such as theater, ballet, opera, performance art, musical concert and other performing arts, and other ephemeral, non-tangible creations.
- This article is concerned with the terms and concept as used in and applied to the visual arts, although other fields such as aural-music and written word-literature have similar issues and philosophies. The term objet d'art is reserved to describe works of art that are not paintings, prints, drawings or large or medium-sized sculptures, or architecture (e.g. household goods, figurines, etc., some purely aesthetic, some also practical). The term oeuvre is used to describe the complete body of work completed by an artist throughout a career. [2]

- Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential — in a way that they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts. [1] Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts. Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science". Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time, general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency [2] and creation.[3] The nature of art, and related concepts such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.
