National Artist is an honorary title issued by some

states as a highest recognition of artists for their

significant contributions to the cultural heritage of the
nation.
An equivalent title, People's Artist, has been known in
countries of the former Eastern Bloc and is also
commonly translated as "National Artist".
In Turkey, a similar title is called State Artist (tr:Devlet
Sanatçısı), which is also sometimes translated as
"National Artist".

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose

medium is sound organized in time. The common
elements of music are pitch (which
governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its
associated concepts tempo, meter,
and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness),
and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are
sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound).
Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-
emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is
performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal
techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are
solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and
pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of
the Muses").[1] See glossary of musical terminology.

Dance is a performing art form consisting of

purposefully selected sequences of human movement.
This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and
is acknowledged as dance by performers and
observers within a particular culture.[nb 1] Dance can be
categorized and described by its choreography, by its
repertoire of movements, or by its historical
period or place of origin.
An important distinction is to be drawn between the
contexts
of theatrical and participatory dance,[4] although these
two categories are not always completely separate;
both may have special functions,
whether social, ceremonial, competitive, erotic, martial, or sacred/liturgical. Other forms of human movement
are sometimes said to have a dance-like quality, including martial arts, gymnastics, cheerleading, figure
skating, synchronized swimming, marching bands, and many other forms of athletics.
