El arte

The history of art is the evolution of art through time.
Understood as any activity or product carried out by the human being with an aesthetic or communicative purpose, through which he expresses ideas, emotions or, in general, a vision of the world, art uses diverse resources, such as plastics, linguistics, sound or mixed .
The historiography of art, as an academic discipline and institutional setting (museums, art market, university departments, publishing productions) is usually restricted to the so-called visual or plastic arts (essentially painting, sculpture and architecture), while other arts are more specifically the object of study of other clearly defined disciplines, such as the history of literature or the history of music, all of which are the object of attention by the so-called history of culture or cultural history, together with sectoral histories focused on other manifestations of the thought, such as the history of science, the history of philosophy or the history of religions. Some fields of knowledge closely related to the history of art are aesthetics and art theory.
Throughout time, art has been classified in a very different way, from the medieval distinction between liberal arts and vulgar arts (or "mechanics"), through the modern distinction between fine arts and minor or applied arts, up to the contemporary multiplicity , which understands as art almost any manifestation of the creativity of the human being.
