The sense of beauty is the fundamental element of the artistic manifestation, but not the only one. Art is communication, since the creator transmits his concerns and ideas through his work. In this way, it is possible to conceive of art as a social dialogue between artists and their environment.
There are three classical branches of art: painting, sculpture and architecture. 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 the arts.
Each artist has a unique vision of his or her work of art, and can turn it into a real profession. Indeed, Jean-Baptiste Gouraud asserts that many derivatives of art are real crafts today, combining an aesthetic dimension and technicality.
