What is the definition of arts? in what era did Arts started? what era is the most important and influential? who is the most influential person who made arts famous? whose the famous artist in the history of arts?
The definition of arts, according to my research, art is a diverse range of human activities. For examples are visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects. In field of arts it includes painting, sculpture, photography, and other visual medias as arts. According from what I have also searched, about the history of arts, it says that art began on the paleolithic era. In my opinion and belief, it started at the prehistoric era, where caveman and hominids are in the world. The caveman and hominids are the first one who made arts, by painting what they have done. Not only they made the first art, but also the first way of communication, it has been used by the caveman to know what they have done and let the other caveman know about it. Anyway, that's not what we are talking about, we are talking about the history of arts.
What will be the most important and influential era? I think it will be the paleolithic era, because it is the first sculpture art that was ever made. Also the neolithic era, because painting started in this era. If these era's were not been discovered or created, artist will not be inspired and they will not know art. In the paleolithic era the sculpture that was been discovered was "Venus of Willendorf" and discovered that it was made 28,000-25,000 BCE. The Venus of Willendorf looked like a fertility image that has no facial features and also a ball like shapes. While in the Neolithic era, the world's first landscape was made, a landscape of a Volcanic Eruption, and it was made around 6150 BCE. In this two era that I presented were not the famous part that made a change for the history of arts. There are still many parts of the history of arts that are important and influential. All of the remaining era of the art history are all important in the history.
In my belief and in my understanding the most influential era was the era of the Renaissance. In these era Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael Sanzio, Titian. The famous painters and artist was the one's who inspired many artist nowadays, because of their masterpiece many artist are touch by their works. Even I were touched and inspired by the works of these famous artists that are famous in the art history. I also dreamed about seeing these famous works in person by these famous artist.
Leonardo da Vinci was one of my idolized artist, because of his artistic way and his creation also his passion for arts. I'm sure that I am not the only one who was inspired by their works. Nowadays many artist are beginning to be known, because they are inspired by the works of these people in the Renaissance era.

Mona Lisa
The famous, well known painting called "Mona Lisa" painted by Leonardo da Vinci. According from what I researched Mona Lisa was a person. A woman named Lisa Gherardini the wife of Francesco del Giocondo. How come that the painting's name become Mona Lisa? The word "Mona" came from the word Madonna which means "my lady", for short it's called "monna" but Leonardo changed the spelling and made it a single "n". Leonardo began painting the Mona Lisa since 1503 or 1504 something like that year, in Florence, Italy. According to many people, there are mysteries from that painting that Leonardo left for the people, but it hasn't been revealed and discovered yet. The Mona Lisa painting has survived for over 500 years and still counting. Since the paint that has been used in that painting was not that good and didn't have the capacity to last longer. Museum who held the Mona Lisa painting, did some cleaning and retouching. Jean-Marie Hooghstoel, was one that who was responsible for restoring the painting, and for the galleries of Musee Napoleon.
One of the mystery of the painting is her eyebrow, because there's only one stroke of brush in her eye and in her eyebrow. Also the left finger was not finished completely by Leonardo da Vinci. The people who has the possession of Mona Lisa's painting who does the retouching, doesn't change his work and just repair some damage. One of the damage that has been made in the Mona Lisa's painting was on 1956 on the elbow of the painting, because of a rock thrown into the painting. Luckily the painting did not get so much damage, and the painting is still the original made by Leonardo da Vinci. It is said that the painting is acquired by Leonardo da Vinci assistant Salai. King Francis I of France bought the painting from Salai for only 4,000 ecus, and has been in the property of the French Republic. Today it is displayed at the Musee du Louvre in Paris, France. It is said that when you are happy and looked at the Mona Lisa painting, the painting is smiling. Once you are sad and depressed the Mona Lisa painting is sad also. After I have read that, it came to my mind that the Mona Lisa painting is becoming to look the same way you are feeling.
The Mona Lisa has been a famous painting since Leonardo da Vinci painted it. According to research Leonardo da Vinci didn't finished the Mona Lisa painting. It is said that he regretted that he didn't finished any single work that he created in his life. The Mona Lisa painting is displayed in a purpose-built, climate-controlled enclosure behind a bulletproof glass. Since this famous is very famous in the world, many people go to France just to see this master piece. Even I, I want to go to France and see personally the famous painting that is called "Mona Lisa". It is said that it captured million of hearts of the people, because its special and it has an unusual smile. In my opinion, it became famous because it is a painting of a woman who has no eyebrow and eyelashes. Lets tell the truth a drawing or painting of a person, doesn't look good if it doesn't have any eyebrow and eyelashes, but this painting still became famous. If I have been given a chance to go to France, I will go directly to Musee du Louvre and look at Leonardo da Vinci's painting.
