Réponse :

The different meanings of the word art:

1. etymology: "ars" (Latin) ® talent, know-how.

2. common sense ® know-how (example: the art of seduction)

3. old meaning ® set of processes applying knowledge and producing a result (synonymous with technique).

4. modern meaning (since the 18th century) ® the arts and fine arts; activities whose own object is beauty, the absence of practical utility, selfless production, aimed at the expression of an aesthetic ideal. In this sense, if the arts (painting, sculpture, dance, etc.) require a technique, a know-how, the works created do not seek utility but beauty.
