Art has to do with the creation, storage, and transmission of symbols and values, which are non-material, which are spiritual. These are cultural values of the society and they have a positive meaning for the members of the society and the members of other ones.
These values play the role of landmarks in the lives of people. The idea of these values changes with times and locations. For instance, in antique epochs beauty, symmetry and truth were the highest values. Christian ones differ – they involve faith, hope, and love. In the modern era, intellect has the highest value in the majority of societies.
