Art is a diverse range of human activities, creations, and expressions that are appealing to the senses or emotions of an individual, it includes painting, writing, music, sculpture, these entail many forms of art and are a product of activity made with the intention of stimulating the senses as well as the mind by transmitting emotions and/or ideas through the art.
History is the study of the past and particularly the written record of the human race, but more generally includes scientific and archaeological discoveries about the past. Art and History together is a study in the beautiful past and ourself. Historians and now journalists have long touted the idea that if the legend outdoes the man, print the legend. The above is mostly all paraphrased from many sources, D L.
