An artefact is a human creation of an object of art, contemporary or of archaeological importance. An artefact is valued based on the workmanship or its representation of culture of a certain period.
Folk art in India takes on different forms through varied media such as paper-art, weaving and designing of objects such as jewellery and toys, pottery, painting, metalwork etc.
Printmaking is a valued artistic medium with unique technical qualities. It is a visual art form that has its origin in Han Dynasty, China.
Art, as we find it today, reflects the traditions of the past set aside in a spirit of experimentation. Art lovers all over the world are looking for an enthralling piece and they are ready to go to any extent for its possession.
Art is a skill acquired by experience, study or observation. From Egyptian wall paintings and Greek sculptures to the emergence of abstract painting and Pop Art, art has evolved a long way.
