Take for instance a piece of Greek ceramic pottery. At the time of its creation a piece of one of a kind ceramic pottery was most likely created to preform a daily task, and not considered a piece of art, but over time as creation techniques and styles changed those scarcely found remnants of the past became regarded as art, and their creators as artist.

In today’s modern age art has taken on an even broader definition, and may now encompass anything and everything imagined and created by somebody considering themselves an artist.
