In the creative arts and scientific literature, an acknowledgment (also spelled acknowledgement) is an expression of gratitude for assistance in creating a literary or artistic work.

Receiving credit by way of acknowledgment rather than authorship indicates that the person or organization did not have a direct hand in producing the work in question, but may have contributed funding, criticism, or encouragement to the author(s). Various schemes exist for classifying acknowledgments; Giles & Councill (2004) give the following six categories:

  1. moral support
  2. financial support
  3. editorial support
  4. presentational support
  5. instrumental/technical support
  6. conceptual support, or peer interactive communication (PIC)

Apart from citation, which is not usually considered to be an acknowledgment, acknowledgment of conceptual support is widely considered to be the most important for identifying intellectual debt. Some acknowledgments of financial support, on the other hand, may simply be legal formalities imposed by the granting institution.

Do creative-arts help one become a better person in terms of morality and principles? How?
Q. Drawing, Painting, Dancing, Singing, Writing... All these creative-art forms; do they have any effect on the person's views and the whole outlook about humanity? Or are these just means of recreation with no lasting psychological effects? Do they hand you a sort of "power" that you too can create something? Whacha think? ;) Also please answer my other question on Gandhian thought too. here's the link:

A. Its a very good question. Art is the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others.The purpose of works of art may be to communicate ideas, such as in politically-, spiritually-, or philosophically-motivated art, to create a sense of beauty , to explore the nature of perception, for pleasure, or to generate strong emotions. The purpose may also be seemingly nonexistent. It echoes or reflects a message, mood, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret his outlook about humanity and world in a broader sense. Creative arts reflects our own self in a way.Creative Arts is an academic discipline that is generally used as an umbrella, for Dance,Painting,Music and… [cont.]

A. How about acting workshops over the summer; small theatre performances in a small local mall (put out membership fliers and donation boxes); offer to perform at local schools~find shows that fit with the curriculum and provide teacher guides~; Halloween is a great time to put together haunted houses used theatre talents; sell cool theatre shirts with your season printed on the back; live & silent auctions; dinner theatre; yard-sale old costumes; bake sale; sell memberships for discounts on tickets; offer to work corporate picnics~serve food, man rides and games, face painting for employees; and, of course, grants are always the best route. (We raised $3000 doing a corporate picnic~)
