ART
‘’ART IS EXPRESSION OF CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION.’’
Art is a term that describes a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities, but is most often understood to refer to painting, film, photography, sculpture and other visual media.
Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences, but in modern usage the fine arts are distinguished from acquired skills in general.

Later Riza Tevfik Bölükbasi and Mehmet Fuat Köprülü wrote articles on the subject in various magazines. A Folklore Association was set up in 1927 and the “People’s Houses” (1932) both carried out important survey work in this field. Today these activities are continued in various univercity faculties.
