Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Kinetic art refers to artworks that feature movement, often noticeable by the observer. These include three-dimensional sculptures and mobiles that move naturally or are machine operated, often powered by wind, a motor, or observer intervention. Some aspects of kinetic art involve perceived movement from certain angles. The style originated in late 19th century from artists like Monet and Degas, who emphasized human movement in their work. To create kinetic art, incorporate moving elements into your artwork, simulate the illusion of movement, or operate via an external force.
