The arts, on the contrary, are those areas of human endeavor that require skill. Skill is a person's ability to work well with a part of his or her body. Skill is talent and technique. An artist is someone who does something well or makes something well using hands and tools. Artistry is also a well-developed skill in one area of manufacture. Everything that was not "natural" was artificial, that is, made with tools through skill by hand.
Today the word art has a special meaning. Art is that which is beautiful: the painting of skilled painters, for ex- ample, is enjoyed and appreciated by many people. Weaving rugs and tapestries is another art. Ceramic work is also art: the shapes, colors, and textures of bowls, vases, and pitchers make these clay items beautiful to look at and enjoyable to use.
