The artsorcreative artsare a vast range of human practices ofcreative expression,storytelling,andculturalparticipation. The arts encompass multiple diverse and plural modes of thinking, doing, and being, in an extremely broad range ofmedia.Both dynamic and a characteristically constant feature of human life, they have developed into stylized and intricate forms. This is achieved through sustained and deliberate study, training, or theorizing within a particular tradition, across generations, and even betweencivilizations.The arts are a vehicle through which human beings cultivate distinct social, cultural, and individual identities while transmitting values, impressions, judgements, ideas, visions, spiritual meanings, patterns of life, and experiences across time and space.

Clockwise, from left to right:

Prominent examples of the arts include:visual arts(includingarchitecture,ceramics,drawing,filmmaking,painting,photography,andsculpting),literary arts(includingfiction,drama,poetry,andprose), andperforming arts(includingdance,music,andtheatre). They can employskillandimaginationto produceobjectsandperformances,convey insights andexperiences,and construct newenvironmentsand spaces.

The arts can refer to common, popular, or everyday practices as well as more sophisticated, systematic, or institutionalized ones. They can be discrete and self-contained or combine and interweave with other art forms, such as the combination of artwork with the written word incomics.They can also develop or contribute to some particular aspect of a more complex art form, as incinematography.By definition, the arts themselves are open to being continually redefined. The practice ofmodern art,for example, is a testament to the shifting boundaries, improvisation and experimentation, reflexive nature, andself-criticismor questioning that art and its conditions of production, reception, and possibility can undergo.

As both a means of developing capacities of attention and sensitivity andends in themselves,the arts can simultaneously be a form of response to the world. It is a way that our responses and what we deem worthwhile goals or pursuits are transformed. From prehistoriccave paintingsto ancient and contemporary forms ofritualto modern-dayfilms,art has served to register, embody, and preserve our ever-shifting relationships to each other and to the world.

Definition

The arts are usually defined as a painting, sculpture, music, theatre, literature, and considered as a group of activities done by people with skill and imagination.[1]Art refers to the way of doing or the application of human creative skills, typically in visual form.[2]The arts are considered to be the various practices formed by human creativity and imagination.[3]

History and classifications

TheVenus of Brassempouy

InAncient Greece,art andcraftwere referred to by the wordtechne.Ancient Greekart brought the veneration of the animal form and the development of equivalent skills to show musculature, poise, beauty, and anatomically correct proportions.Ancient Romanart depicted gods as idealized humans, shown with characteristic distinguishing features, e.g.Zeus' thunderbolt. InByzantineandGothic artof theMiddle Ages,the dominant church insisted on the expression of Christian themes due to the overlap ofchurch and state.[4][5]

Eastern arthas generally worked in a style akin to Westernmedieval art,namely a concentration on surface patterning and local colour (meaning the plain colour of an object, such as basic red for a red robe, rather than the modulations of that colour brought about by light, shade, and reflection). A characteristic of this style is that local colour is defined by an outline (a contemporary equivalent is the cartoon). This is evident, for example, in the art ofIndia,Tibet,andJapan.Islamic artavoids the representation of living beings, particularly humans and other animals, in religious contexts.[6]It instead expresses religious ideas throughcalligraphyand geometrical designs.[7]

Classifications

Lawrence Alma-Tadema'sCatullus-at-Lesbia's(1865)

In the Middle Ages,liberal artswere taught in Europeanuniversitiesas part of theTrivium,an introductory curriculum involvinggrammar,rhetoric,andlogic,[8]and of theQuadrivium,a curriculum involving the "mathematical arts" ofarithmetic,geometry,music, andastronomy.[9]In modernacademia,the arts can be grouped with, or as a subset of, thehumanities.[10]

The arts have been classified as seven: painting, architecture, sculpture, literature, music,performing,and cinema. Some view literature, painting, sculpture, and music as the main four arts, of which the others are derivative; drama is literature with acting, dance is music expressed throughmotion,andsongis music with literature andvoice.[11]Film is sometimes called the "eighth" and comics the "ninth art" in Francophone scholarship, adding to the traditional "Seven Arts".[12][13]Cultural fields likegastronomyare only sometimes considered as arts.[14]

Visual arts

Architecture

TheParthenonon top of theAcropolis,Athens,Greece

Architecture is the art and science ofdesigningbuildingsandstructures.[15][16]The wordarchitecturecomes from the Greekarkhitekton,[17]"master builder, director of works," fromαρχι-(arkhi) "chief" +τεκτων(tekton) "builder, carpenter".[18]A wider definition would include the design of the built environment, from the macro level ofurban planning,urban design,andlandscape architecture,to the microlevel of creating furniture. Architectural design usually must address feasibility andcostfor thebuilder,as well as function andaestheticsfor theuser.[19]

In modern usage, architecture is the art anddisciplineof creating, or inferring an implied or apparent plan for, a complex object orsystem.[20]Some types of architecture manipulate space, volume, texture, light, shadow, or abstract elements, to achieve pleasingaesthetics.[21]Architectural works may be seen as cultural and politicalsymbols,or works of art. The role of the architect, though changing, has been central to the design and implementation of pleasingly built environments, in which people live.[22]

Ceramics

Celadonkettle from the 12th century.Goryeo celadonis considered to be among the great achievements ofKorean art.

Ceramic art is art made fromceramicmaterials (includingclay),[23]which may take forms such aspottery,tile,figurines,sculpture, andtableware.While some ceramic products are consideredfine art,others are considereddecorative,industrial,orappliedart objects. Ceramics may also be consideredartefactsinarchaeology.Ceramic art can be made by one person or by a group of people. In a pottery or ceramic factory, a group of people design, manufacture, and decorate the pottery. Some pottery is regarded asart pottery.[24]In a one-person pottery studio, ceramists or potters producestudio pottery.Ceramics excludesglassandmosaicsmade from glasstesserae.[25]

Conceptual art

Conceptual art is art wherein the concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns.[26] The inception of the term in the 1960s referred to a strict and focused practice of idea-based art that often defied traditional visual criteria associated with the visual arts in its presentation as text.[27]Through its association with theYoung British Artistsand theTurner Prizeduring the 1990s,[28]its popular usage, particularly in the United Kingdom, developed as a synonym for allcontemporary artthat does not practice the traditional skills of painting and sculpture.[29]

Drawing

Drawing is a means of making animageusing any of a wide variety of tools and techniques. It generally involves making marks on a surface by applying pressure from a tool, or moving a tool across a surface. Common tools aregraphitepencils,pen and ink,inkedbrushes,waxcoloured pencils,crayons,charcoals,pastels,andmarkers.Digital tools with similar effects are also used. The main techniques used in drawing are line drawing,hatching,crosshatching, random hatching, scribbling,stippling,and blending. Anartistwho excels in drawing is referred to as adrafter,draftswoman,ordraughtsman.[30]Drawing can be used to create art used in cultural industries such asillustrations,comics, and animation. Comics are often called the "ninth art" (le neuvième art) in Francophone scholarship, adding to the traditional "Seven Arts".[12]

Painting

TheMona LisabyLeonardo da Vinci

Painting is considered to be a form of self expression.[31]Drawing,gesture(as ingestural painting),composition,narration(as innarrative art), orabstraction(as inabstract art), among other aesthetic modes, may serve to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner.[32]Paintings can be a wide variety of topics, such asphotographic,[33]abstract,[34]narrative,[35]symbolistic(Symbolist art),[36]emotive(Expressionism),[37]or political in nature (Artivism.)[38]Some modern painters incorporate different materials, such assand,cement,straw,wood, or strands of hair, for theirartwork texture.Examples of this are the works ofJean DubuffetorAnselm Kiefer.[39][40]

Photography

Photography as an art form refers to photographs that are created in accordance with the creative vision of the photographer. Art photography stands in contrast tophotojournalism,which provides a visual account for news events, and commercial photography, the primary focus of which is to advertise products or services.[41]

Sculpture

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of theplastic arts.Durable sculptural processes originally usedcarving(the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, such as clay), instone,metal,ceramics,wood, and other materials, but sincemodernism,shifts in sculptural processes have led to an almost complete freedom of materials and processes. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled byweldingor modelling, ormouldedorcast.[42][43][44]

Literary arts

Literature (also known asliterary artsorlanguage arts) is literally "acquaintance with letters", as in the first sense given in theOxford English Dictionary.The noun "literature" comes from theLatinwordlittera,meaning "an individual written character (letter). "The term has generally come to identify a collection ofwritings,which inWestern cultureare mainlyprose(both fiction and non-fiction), drama, and poetry. In much, if not all, of the world, artistic linguistic expression can beoralas well and include suchgenresasepic,legend,myth,ballad,other forms of oral poetry, andfolktales.Comics, the combination of drawings or other visual arts with narrating literature, are often called the "ninth art" (le neuvième art) in Francophone scholarship.[12]

Performing arts

Performing arts comprise dance, music, theatre,opera,mime,and other art forms in which human performance is the principal product. Performing arts are distinguished by this performance element in contrast with disciplines such as visual and literary arts, where the product is an object that does not require a performance to be observed and experienced. Each discipline in the performing arts is temporal in nature, meaning the product is performed over a period of time. Products are broadly categorized as being either repeatable (for example, by script or score) or improvised for each performance.[45]Artists who participate in these arts in front of an audience are calledperformers,includingactors,magicians,comedians,dancers,musicians,andsingers.Performing arts are also supported by the services of other artists or essential workers, such assongwritingandstagecraft.Performers often adapt theirappearancewith tools such ascostumesandstage makeup.[46]

Dance

Dance generally refers to humanmovement,either used as a form of expression or presented in a social,spiritual,or performance setting.[47][48][a]Choreographyis the art of making dances,[53]and the person who does this is called a choreographer.[54]Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent onsocial,cultural,aesthetic,artistic,and moral constraints and range from functional movement (such asfolk dance) to codifiedvirtuosotechniques such asballet.In sports: gymnastics,figure skating,andsynchronized swimmingare dance disciplines. In martial arts, "kata"is compared to dances.[55]

Music

Music is often defined as an art form whosemediumis a combination of sounds.[56]Though scholars agree that music generally consists ofa few core elements,their exact definitions are debated.[57]Commonly identified aspects includepitch(which governs melody and harmony),duration(includingrhythmandtempo), intensity (including dynamics), andtimbre.[58]Though considered acultural universal,definitions of musicvary wildly throughout the world as they are based on diverse views ofnature,the supernatural, and humanity.[59]Music is often differentiated intocompositionand performance, whilemusical improvisationmay be regarded as an intermediary tradition.[60]Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial.[61]

Theatre

Theatre or theater (from Greektheatron(θέατρον);fromtheasthai,"behold"[62]) is the branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound, and spectacle.[63]In addition to the standard narrative dialogue style, theatre takes such forms as opera, ballet,mime,kabuki,classical Indian dance,andChinese opera.[64][65][66][67]

Multidisciplinary artistic works

Areas exist in which artistic works incorporate multiple artistic fields, such as film, opera, and performance art. While opera is often categorized as the performing arts of music, the word itself is Italian for "works", because opera combines artistic disciplines into a singular artistic experience. In a traditional opera, the work uses the following, the sets, costumes, acting, thelibretto,singers and an orchestra.[68]

Ernestine Schumann-Heinkas Waltraute

The composerRichard Wagnerrecognized the fusion of so many disciplines into a single work of opera, exemplified by his cycleDer Ring des Nibelungen( "The Ring of the Nibelung" ). He did not use the term opera for his works, but insteadGesamtkunstwerk( "synthesis of the arts" ), sometimes referred to as "Music Drama" in English, emphasizing the literary and theatrical components, which were as important as the music.Classical balletis another form that emerged in the 17th century in which orchestral music is combined with dance.[69]

Other works in the late 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries have fused other disciplines in unique and creative ways, such as performance art. Performance art is a performance over time that combines any number of instruments, objects, and art within a predefined or less well-defined structure, some of which can be improvised. Performance art may be scripted, unscripted, random, or carefully organized; even audience participation may occur.John Cageis regarded by many as a performance artist rather than a composer, although he preferred the latter term. He did not compose for traditional ensembles. Cage's compositionLiving Room Music,composed in 1940, is a "quartet" for unspecified instruments, really non-melodic objects, that can be found in the living room of a typical house, hence the title.[70]

Other arts

Applied arts

The applied arts are the application ofdesignand decoration to everyday, functional objects to make themaestheticallypleasing.[71]The applied arts include fields such asindustrial design,illustration,and commercial art.[72]The term "applied art" is used in distinction to thefine arts,where the latter is defined as arts that aim to produce objects that are beautiful or provide intellectual stimulation but have no primary everyday function. In practice, the two often overlap.

Video games

Video gamesare multidisciplinary works that include non-controversially artistic elements such as visuals and sound, as well as an emergent experience from the nature of their interactivity. Within thevideo game community,there is debate surrounding whether video games should beclassified as an art formand whethergame developersAAAorindie—should be classified as artists.[73]Hideo Kojima,a video game designer considered a "gaming arteur", argued in 2006 that video games are a type of service rather than an art form.[74][75]In the social sciences, cultural economists show how playing video games is conducive to involvement in more traditional art forms.[76]In 2011, theNational Endowment of the Artsincluded video games in its definition of a "work of art",[77]and theSmithsonian American Art Museumpresented an exhibit titledThe Art of the Video Gamein 2012.[78]

Arts critique

Monkeys as Judges of Art,1889,Gabriel von Max

Art criticism is the discussion or evaluation of art.[79][80][81]Art criticsusually criticize art in the context ofaestheticsor the theory of beauty.[80][81]A goal of art criticism is the pursuit of a rational basis for art appreciation[79][80][81]but it is questionable whether such criticism can transcend prevailing socio-political circumstances.[82]

The variety ofartistic movementshas resulted in a division of art criticism into different disciplines which may each use different criteria for their judgements.[81][83]The most common division in the field of criticism is between historical criticism and evaluation, a form ofart history,and contemporary criticism of work by living artists.[79][80][81]

Despite perceptions that criticism is a lower risk activity than making art, opinions of current art are liable to corrections with the passage of time.[80]Critics of the past can be ridiculed for dismissing artists now venerated (like the early work of theImpressionists).[81][84][85]Some art movements themselves were named disparagingly by critics, with the name later adopted as a badge of honour by the artists of the style with the original negative meaning forgotten, e.g. Impressionism andCubism.[84][86][87]Artists have often had an uneasy relationship with their critics. Artists usually need positive opinions from critics for their work to be viewed and purchased.[80][88]

There are many different variables that determine judgment of art such as aesthetics, cognition or perception. Aesthetic, pragmatic, expressive, formalist, relativist, processional, imitation, ritual, cognition, mimetic and postmodern theories, are some of many theories to criticize and appreciate art. Art criticism and appreciation can be subjective based on personal preference toward aesthetics and form, or on the elements and principle of design and by social and cultural acceptance.[89]

Education

Arts in education is a field ofeducational researchand practice informed by investigations intolearningthrough arts experiences. In this context, the arts can includeperforming arts education(dance, drama, music), literature and poetry,storytelling,visual arts educationin film,craft,design,digital art,media and photography.[90]

Politics

A strong relationship between the arts and politics, particularly between various kinds of art andpower,occurs across history andcultures.[91]As they respond toeventsand politics, the arts take on political as well as social dimensions, becoming themselves a focus of controversy and a force of political andsocial change.[92]

One observation is that a greattalenthas afree spirit.For instancePushkin,a well-regarded writer,[93]attracted the irritation ofRussian officialdomand particularlythe Tsar,since he "instead of being a good servant of the state in the rank and file of the administration and extolling conventional virtues in his vocational writings (if write he must), composed extremely arrogant and extremely independent and extremely wicked verse in which a dangerous freedom of thought was evident in the novelty of his versification, in the audacity of his sensual fancy, and in his propensity for making fun of major and minor tyrants."[93]Art and politics continue to have a strong relationship. Artists use their work to express their political views and promote social change. Governments use art to promote their own agendas.[94]
