An art is a special skill or craft that you can learn.
But when we talk about "The Arts", we are usually referring
specifically to the creative arts - visual art, music, and the
performing arts such as theater and dance.
The arts produce imaginative and creative works that entertain,
enlighten and help us to think about things in a different way.
("The arts" can also mean subjects from history to languages and
literature studied at university, leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree;
these areas of study are also called the humanities.)
