45、. Only those from Cremona arc special. So age cannot be the answer.

53、e art, such as painting, music and sculpture （雕塑）and applied art （實用美術(shù)）,such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fee art is something which has a conceptual function.（概念功能）.He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and

Others are free for children and students.Street art is also popular in different neighborhoods around the
