The Many Different Types of Art Styles
Art is the creative combination of human actions involving physical creativity to express emotional, beauty, technical skill, or visual ideas in a form of art. There are different types of art such as fine arts, popular arts, cultural studies, expressive arts, and visual arts. The most common type of art is painting and sculptures. These forms of art can be both created and produced by an artist.
The term fine art originally denoted pieces of artwork that were made to serve a purpose, such as an ornamental object to enhance a building or for decoration. Later on, however, the term was applied to any artistic creation that expresses an idea and is perceived as having artistic merit. It is the object of aesthetic appreciation rather than its utility or intended use that distinguishes good art from bad art, hence, “good taste” and “arts”. Today, however, the term fine art has various other meanings, depending on the context in which it is used. For instance, in the academic community, the term fine art is used to define artworks created by architects, writers, and photographers.
ARTS cover a broad spectrum of artistic practices, with the primary distinguishing characteristic being creativity. ARTS include all the varieties of art that have developed throughout history, with the exception of dance, theater, motion graphics, and video games. In other words, all the artistic mediums available to artists in terms of painting, drawing, photography, sculpting, and installation, together with performing arts and music, are considered as ARTS.
The term beauty is used to denote the artistic quality or mental appeal of a work of art. While beauty is subjective, it is commonly associated with the aesthetic sensibility and emotions expressed by people in the art world. Beauty is a highly personal and subjective concept, which differs across people and cultures. It is usually associated with the values and beliefs of a person’s culture, nationality, sex, and education. It is believed that beauty surrounds us and inside us, so we can say that beauty is something inside ourselves.
ARTS are not ‘hard’ or concrete forms, but come in various shapes, forms, and sizes. They are often categorized according to their ‘principal’ meaning or intention. For instance, literature, theater, film, and sculpture are all ARTS; while music is a more generalized term, denoting any artistic creation that originates from the human voice. In the visual arts, paintings, photography, and dance are all recognized as separate fields or branches of the art form; while architecture, motion graphics, and computer animation are all encompassed within the field of ARTS.
ARTS exist in many different forms throughout the history of mankind. One example of an ARTS is music, which was the first artistic form to be developed on earth. All the various types of music evolved from the same source or inspiration-God. Other forms of ARTS include motion graphics, computer animation, and films.
