Artists create by putting their ideas into artistic expressions. These works can be totally new, or they can be derivative or inspired by previous works of arts. Nowadays, as art projects often transcend traditional art forms, integrating various arts elements, the creative artists may also require to using certain music, visuals, literary text in the creation and performance of their works.[more]
