Art
This broad tag simply marks a piece as, well, art, without pointing to a specific medium, style, or subject. It shows up across a huge range of work on WooArts and functions more as a general label than a specific style descriptor. If you’re not looking for anything in particular and just want to browse widely across everything the site has to offer, following this tag is one way to do that. It’s the least specific tag on the site by design, a catch all rather than a defined category of its own.
