Emergence definition

Art is a creative expression of beauty that is shaped by and reflects the cultural context in which it is produced, which emerges from the intersection of perception, where an organism interprets sensory information from its environment, form, where matter takes shape or arrangement, and skill, where the acquisition of knowledge and practice enable the development of a learned ability or proficiency in performing a task or activity.
