The Arts $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The arts is a broad subdivision of culture, composed of many creative endeavors and disciplines. It is a broader term than art, which as a description of a field usually means only the visual arts. The arts encompasses visual arts, literature and the performing arts music, drama, dance and film, among others. This list is by no means comprehensive, but only meant to introduce the concept of the arts. A good definition of the arts is given by the Free Dictionary as imaginative, creative, and nonscientific branches of knowledge considered collectively, esp. as studied academically. The singular term art is defined by the Irish Art Encyclopedia as follows: Art is created when an artist creates a beautiful object, or produces a stimulating experience that is considered by his audience to have artistic merit. The same source states: Art is a global activity which encompasses a host of disciplines, as evidenced by the range of words and phrases which have been invented to describe its various forms. Examples of such phraseology include: Fine Arts, Liberal Arts, Visual Arts, Decorative Arts, Applied Arts, Design, Crafts, Performing Arts, and so on.
