The arts

The arts, orcreative arts, are a vast range ofhuman practices involvingcreative expression,storytelling, andcultural participation. The arts encompass diverse and plural modes of thought, deeds, and existence in an extensive range ofmedia. Both a dynamic and characteristically constant feature of human life, the arts have developed into increasingly stylized and intricate forms. This is achieved through sustained and deliberate study, training, or theorizing within a particular tradition, generations, and even betweencivilizations. The arts are a medium through which humans cultivate distinct social, cultural, and individual identities while transmitting values, impressions, judgments, ideas, visions, spiritual meanings, patterns of life, and experiences across time and space.

1845 engraving

Rufus Wilmot Griswold (February 13, 1815 – August 27, 1857) was an Americananthologist, editor, poet, and critic. Born inVermont, Griswold left home when he was 15 years old. He worked as a journalist, editor, and critic inPhiladelphia, New York City, and elsewhere. He built a strong literary reputation, in part due to his 1842 collectionThe Poets and Poetry of America. This anthology, the most comprehensive of its time, included what he deemed the best examples ofAmerican poetry. He produced revised versions and similar anthologies for the remainder of his life, although many of the poets he promoted have since faded into obscurity. Many writers hoped to have their work included in one of these editions, although they commented harshly on Griswold's abrasive character. Griswold was married three times: his first wife died young, his second marriage ended in a public and controversial divorce, and his third wife left him after the previous divorce was almost repealed.

A claytessera bearing a possible depiction ofOdaenathus wearing adiadem

Odaenathus, the king ofPalmyra from 260 to 267 CE, has been identified by modern scholars as the subject of sculptures, seal impressions, and mosaic pieces. His city was part of theRoman Empire, and he came to dominate the Roman East when in 260 he defeatedShapur I, theSasanian emperor ofPersia, who had invaded the Roman Empire. Odaenathus besieged the Sasanian capitalCtesiphon in 263, and although the city did not fall, the campaign led to a full restoration of Roman provinces taken by Shapur I. In the aftermath of his Persian war, Odaenathus assumed the titleKing of Kings, which was a challenge to the Persian monarch's claims of authority in the region. Odaenathus ruled the Roman East unopposed with imperial consent. In 267, he was assassinated alongside his eldest sonHerodianus while conducting a campaign against Germanic raiders inBithynia; he was succeeded by his sonVaballathus under the regency of the widow queenZenobia.

Vital articles to understand The arts.

Theatre ortheater is a collaborative form ofperforming art that uses live performers, usuallyactors, to present experiences of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often astage. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations ofgesture,speech,song,music, anddance. It is the oldest form ofdrama, though live theatre has now been joined by modern recorded forms. Elements of art, such as painted scenery andstagecraft such aslighting are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience. Places, normally buildings, where performances regularly take place are also called "theatres" (or "theaters"), as derived from theAncient Greek θέατρον (théatron, "a place for viewing"), itself from θεάομαι (theáomai, "to see", "to watch", "to observe").
