The　nature　and　origin　of　arts,　and　its　relationship　to　“science”　have　been　under
much　debate　since　Plato　about　2,400　years　ago.　Here,　a　new　perspective　on　these
issues　is　presented.　Science　is　to　understand　how　nature　works,　while　nature
consists　of　(human　and　nonhuman)　living　systems　and　nonliving　systems.
Consequently　all　human-dependent　matters　are　part　of　science—the　premise
underlying　the　new　discipline　called　Science　Matters　(SciMat),　which　covers　all
topics　in　humanities　and　social　sciences,　arts　in　particular.　(Arts　here　refer　to
visual　arts,　literature,　film,　performance　arts,　music,　architecture,　new　media　arts
and　so　on.)　In　fact,　arts　are　a　subset　of　humans’　creative　activities　that　aim　to
excite　the　receiver’s　neurons　in　a　certain　manner,　through　that　person’s　senses,
with　or　without　significant　consequences.　The　usual　kind　of　“science”　is　to
understand　mostly　inanimate,　simple　systems　and　how　the　world/universe
works;　it　is　part　of　science　in　general.　Arts　as　a　science　matter　is　to　find　out
everything　about　arts,　including　arts’　origin　and　nature,　and　how　and　why　arts
work　at　both　ends　of　the　creator　and　the　receiver.　Like　physics　and　any　other
discipline,　arts　can　be　classified　into　two　types—pure　arts　and　applied　arts.
Some　arts,　such　as　drawing　and　performance　art,　could　start　a　million　years　ago.
All　arts　evolved　over　time　and　space,　and　the　contents　kept　on　changing　as
humans　invented　language　and　writing　and　as　they　migrated　out　of　Africa　and
spread　over　the　world;　arts　contain　both　global　universal　elements　and　local
features.　Here,　all　these　issues　as　well　as　how　arts　as　a　science　matter　could　be
studied　are　elaborated,　after　a　brief　introduction　to　SciMat　and　humans’
development　history　and　inheritance　mechanism　(genes　and　epigenes)　is　given.
