[Coding/Content] Art

Aliases

Art
art
art object
decorative object

Definition

Art is coded when the main content is perceived as an artistic work, decorative object, or aesthetic product.
The key point is not just seeing an object, but understanding it as something artistic or ornamental.

Conditions

Use it for paintings, statues, drawings, sculptures, emblems, or decorative pieces.
It may be added together with another content code if the response names both the object and its artistic character.
If the response is mainly anatomy or biological structure, first reconsider scoring-input/contents/An.
If the main emphasis is historical, ethnic, or anthropological meaning rather than art object status, first reconsider scoring-input/contents/Ay.

Cautions

Art and scoring-input/contents/Ay can co-occur, but they do not mean the same thing.
Art centers on artwork or decoration; Ay centers on cultural or historical reference.
A biological image presented like a mounted specimen or stylized illustration may take scoring-input/contents/An as the main content and Art as a secondary code.
