1. What is a work of art?A work of art, also called an artwork, is something that an artist makes that has beauty or meaning. It can be a painting, sculpture, or even a useful object that people later think is pretty.
2. Why do people call some objects art later?Sometimes people make things for other reasons, like religion or function, and later others see them as art because they look beautiful or tell a story.

Aesthetic Value: The quality of an object that evokes a sense of beauty or sensory pleasure.
Applied Arts: Art forms that combine aesthetic design with practical function, such as furniture or ceramics.
