What is Fine Art ?
In European academic traditions, fine art is developed primarily for aesthetics or creative expression, distinguishing it from decorative art or applied art, which also has to
serve some practical function, such as pottery or most metalwork or paintings.
Historically, the five main fine arts were painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and poetry, with
performing arts including theatre and dance. In practice, outside education, the concept is typically only applied to the visual arts. The old master print and drawing were included
as related forms to painting, just as prose forms of literature were to poetry. Today, the range of what would be considered fine arts (in so far as the term remains in use) commonly
includes additional modern forms, such as film, photography, video production/editing, design, and conceptual art.
