An imaginative and a good artist uses oil paintings as a medium to enhance his piece of work which is created based on his imagination or out of the interpretations
which he might have drawn from the objects viewed. A good artist along with his set of oil paintings can add a life to the objects he paints, especially painting on a canvas gives
the paintings a three dimensional look. A good and an imaginative artist can make any paintings renowned by adding a pinch of emotion with just a stroke of a brush to the paintings
which might be depicting victorious events or the scenic beauty of nature. Artists have this admirable ability to add life to the objects, thus the different interpretations which the
artist draw makes us visualize the inanimate objects in a new way. Now for instance lets consider a ship which is fighting a terrible storm, an artist possesses the ability to portray
the intensity of the nature and thus making us to imagine the fury of nature by viewing the painting. Oil paintings have provided extremely realistic appearances that have added a color
to the imaginations of the artist. In 1500A.D the artists made the discovering of making colorful paints by mixing ground natural pigments by using vegetable oil took place. The drying
oils which were utilized in the early days were walnut oil, poppy oil, hempseed oil, castor oil and linseed oil. These oils acted as varnishes for protecting the images and thus it
helped in the protection of the paintings from damage caused by water. Thus oil paintings are considered as one of the best medium to put into light the frozen thoughts and provide
a realistic view to the paintings

The idea of an object being a `work of art` emerges, together with the concept of the Artist, in the 15th and 16th centuries in Italy.

During the Renaissance, the word Art emerges as a collective term encompassing Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, a grouping given currency by the Italian artist and biographer Giorgio Vasari
in the 16th century. Subsequently, this grouping was expanded to include Music and Poetry which became known in the 18th century as the `Fine Arts`. These five Arts have formed an irreducible nucleus
from which have been generally excluded the `decorative arts` and `crafts`, such as as pottery, weaving, metalworking, and furniture making, all of which have utility as an end.

But how did Art become distinguished from the decorative arts and crafts? How and why is an artist different from a craftsperson?

In the Ancient World and Middle Ages the word we would translate as `art` today was applied to any activity governed by rules. Painting and sculpture were included among a number of human activities,
such as shoemaking and weaving, which today we would call crafts.

In an abstract work of art the artistic content depends on internal form rather than pictorial representation. In its pure form, it can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real
objects has been entirely discarded and its aesthetic content expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. When the representation of real objects is completely absent, such art may
be called non-objective.

Contemporary art can sometimes seem at odds with a public that does not feel that art and its institutions share its values. In Britain in the 1990s contemporary art became a part of popular culture, with artists
becoming stars, but this did not lead to a hoped for `cultural utopia`. However, some critics like Julian Spalding and Donald Kuspit have become public advocates and suggest that skepticism, even rejection, is
a legitimate and reasonable response to much contemporary art.

In the modern age of the avant-garde and abstract art it is at times difficult to see the basis on the highest teachings. Some believe that the artists mental well-being plays a
large roll. Perhaps dome of out chaotic painting today is caused by the fact that many of the specialized artists are stunted human beings.

It is also mentioned that an artist should not try using the traditional elements all at once in the hopes of creating a great work of art. The work should unify in its style and mood;
and both such values should fit the artist`s individual personality.

It is also believed that the art of the past generations and eras are the building blocks for the preceding movement. If all of these theories were true, painting would become one large
contradiction. Maybe it already is?

Painting has gone through many shifts over the centuries and the only obvious similarity is that all involve some type of pigment on a surface and even that varies from time to time.
If we rely on the theories and philosophies of the old masters we can not accept the majority of 20th century art.

The institutions of art have been criticised for regulating what is designated as contemporary art. Outsider art, for instance, is literally contemporary art, in that it is produced in the present
day. However, it is not considered so because the artists are self-taught and are assumed to be working outside of an art historical context.Craft activities, such as textile design, are also excluded from the realm
of contemporary art, despite large audiences for exhibitions. Attention is drawn to the way that craft objects must subscribe to particular values in order to be admitted. `A ceramic object that is intended as
a subversive comment on the nature of beauty is more likely to fit the definition of contemporary art than one that is simply beautiful.
