The arts is a broad subdivision of
culture, composed of many expressive disciplines. In modern usage, it is a term
broader than "art", which usually means the visual arts (comprising both fine
art, decorative art, and crafts). The arts encompasses visual arts, performing
arts, language arts, culinary arts, and physical arts. Many artistic disciplines
involve aspects of the various arts, so the definitions of these terms overlap
to some degree. »» |
