2.visual Arts

The visual arts are forms of art, such as painting, sculpture, photography, that are primarily visual in nature. The definition has expanded over time to include decorative and applied arts like graphic design and architecture. Historically, the fine arts were distinguished from applied arts and crafts, but many art movements valued all art forms. The document then provides a historical overview of the development of visual arts from ancient Greek and Roman periods through modern and postmodern eras, outlining artistic styles and movements within broad historical periods. It acknowledges contributions to the presentation from several individuals.

Visual Arts

DEFINITION OF VISUAL
ARTS
 The visual arts are art forms that create works that
are primarily visual in nature, such
as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printma
king, design, crafts, photography,video, filmmakin
g and architecture. These definitions should not
be taken too strictly as many artistic disciplines
(performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts)
involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of
other types. Also included within the visual arts are
the applied arts such as industrial design, graphic
design, fashion design,interior
design and decorative art.
DEFINITION OF VISUAL
ARTS
 The current usage of the term "visual arts" includes fine art as
well as the applied, decorative arts and crafts, but this was not
always the case. Before the Arts and Crafts
Movement in Britain and elsewhere at the turn of the 20th
century, the term 'artist' was often restricted to a person
working in the fine arts (such as painting, sculpture, or
printmaking) and not the handicraft, craft, or applied art
media. The distinction was emphasized by artists of the Arts
and Crafts Movement who valued vernacular art forms as
much as high forms. Art schools made a distinction between
the fine arts and the crafts maintaining that a craftsperson
could not be considered a practitioner of the arts. The
increasing tendency to privilege painting, and to a lesser
degree sculpture, above other arts has been a feature
of Western art as well as East Asian art. In both regions painting
has been seen as relying to the highest degree on the
imagination of the artist, and the furthest removed from
manual labour - in Chinese painting the most highly valued
styles were those of "scholar-painting", at least in theory
practiced by gentleman amateurs. The Western hierarchy of
genres reflected similar attitudes.
