Expression: Art is a way for individuals or communities to express themselves, their emotions, ideas, and experiences. This can be done through writing, videos, paintings, sculpting, music, performing, and then some.

Communication: Art can also be a form of communication, conveying messages, stories, or emotions to audiences. This communication can be direct or indirect, literal or symbolic, and open to multiple interpretations.
