'''Art''' is a term used to describe objects or ideas that are creative in origin or design. It is typically defined as the conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of [[beauty]], specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.<ref>American Heritage Dictionary</ref>

''[[The arts]]'' is a term broader than "''art''", which usually means the visual arts (fine art and decorative art). ''The arts'' encompasses visual arts, performing arts ([[Music]] and [[dance]]), language arts ([[Literature]]) and culinary arts. The major general surveys on topics in the fine arts are [[painting]], [[sculpture]], [[drawing]], [[photography]] and [[architecture]].

==Liberalism and art==
[[Liberals]] use art to express their [[political]] views, hoping to gain extra protection for their political speech by claiming that it is not really political but merely "artistic expression". This has been used to defend [[hate speech]] in the case of an art exhibit in the 1980s which invited museum goers to step on an American Flag and then record their opinions in a journal.{{fact}}


In 2008, visual artist [[Shepard Fairey]] utilized [[Socialist]] and [[Communist]] propaganda poster aesthetics to create the infamous [[Barack Obama]] "HOPE" campaign poster. Fairey's work has long employed visual elements directly referencing [[fascist]] imagery, styling and color palettes. His representation of Obama bore striking resemblance to socialist realism and recalled posters used to promote [[Mao]], [[Stalin]] and [[Lenin]]. This iconographic image became synonymous with Obama's presidential campaign, despite claims by the [[Associated Press]] that Fairey had illegally stolen the original image from their photo archives. In a September 2008 article on [[San Francisco]]-based news website SF Gate, Fairey admitted freely that he employed propaganda techniques, saying, "The illustration does have roots in propaganda art... I also want it to seem like a patriotic image, but not be seen as too countercultural... It needed just enough mainstream ingredients to transcend."<ref>http://articles.sfgate.com/2008-09-18/entertainment/17159255_1_shepard-fairey-poster-street-artist</ref>
