From the Paper:

"The first thing that the mind conjures is the meaning of art. Art can be defined as any human creativity, skill, any craft or profession or its ideals, an assemblage of things having form and beauty within any discipline of creative work. Hence art is any endeavor which attempts to articulate or convey anything about the author, or to impact anything within the audience. This brings us to the question of the availability of a good art. Perhaps good art is that which conveys in a successful manner, the feelings of the artist, or conveys to, or makes an influence to the person observing it to some extent. The basic forms of measuring the value of some artistic work is to find out many among those who have observed or experienced it regard it as good. Nevertheless there is no totally good or bad art and it is everything a question of personal taste."
