ART has not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as Art today may not have been perceived as such when it was first made, nor was the person who made it necessarily regarded as an artist. Both the notion of "art" and the idea of the "artist" are relatively modern terms.

Many of the objects we identify as art today -- Greek painted pottery, medieval manuscript illuminations, and so on -- were made in times and places when people had no concept of "art" as we understand the term. These objects may have been appreciated in various ways and often admired, but not as "art" in the current sense.

ART lacks a satisfactory definition. It is easier to describe it as the way something is done -- "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others" -- rather than what it is.

Some questions have an hard answer...How did Art become distinguished from the decorative arts and crafts? How and why is an artist different from a craftsperson?

In the Ancient World and Middle Ages the word we would translate as 'art' today was applied to any activity governed by rules. Painting and sculpture were included among a number of human activities, such as shoemaking and weaving, which today we would call crafts.

Emily, Marianne, Sesilie and Edward.
It's true! You need three girls to have one handsome guy. Do you agree with me? :-)

Emily's place...as you see, someone is "playing cards"! Has been reached the target? Who knows... :-)

Some other partecipants

Someone is so thirsty! But instead of water...he took alcool! Do you wanna know what happened later? Eh,eh...

One colour!

Here, there's Igor! He sent me this picture. With this he wants to show how to get a sweet kiss from another partecipant from ISFiT. Just ask it! Especially when you fall on the ice!

A wonderful girl from Africa.
The state of the art!

Just married! It sounds like the workshop of marriages! This new couple (Maria and Igor) decided to get married in less than 1 minute! And there's people that still doesn't believe in love at first sight...
As you can imagine they hadn't rings. So, to manage the situation they decided to use 'chips' as rings. It worked! At least for a couple of hours. Why only for 2 hours? Ask to Igor...

She wants to understand what is that strange liquid.
It hasn't the colour of water and tastes good.

Antarin, as Group Leader, is showing to the partecipants (only for men) the way of dancing and being successful with girls in Norway. It's a kinda "Monkey-Dance". It seems a joke...but it works...at least that's what he saw! (Antarin Official Recorded Documentation)

Here there's a strange 'Japanese'. His name is Antarinsan! He is the Master of the eldest Martial Art school in Japan! From his face comes out the pride of the warrior and the total concentration.

I wish to thank Emily for the pictures marked with "Read the note below".
