The
visual
arts
are those creations we can look at,such as a drawing or a painting,sculpture,architecture and photography,etc.Any one of these disciplines is a type of visual art.This is the simple explanation.However,the history of “the arts” is not so simple.
“The arts”,as a term,has an interesting history.During the Middle Ages,the arts were only limited to seven in number and did not involve creating anything at which people looked.They were grammar,music,rhetoric,dialectic logic,arithmetic,geometry and astronomy.These seven arts were known as the fine arts,in order to distinguish them from the “useful arts”.Why? Only “fine” people—those who didn't do manual labor—studied them.
At some point in the following centuries,people realized there was a difference between a science and an art.The phrase “fine arts” came to mean anything that had been created to please the senses. After losing the sciences,the list now included music,dance,opera and literature,as well as what we normally think of as “art”: painting,sculpture,architecture and the decorative arts.
Within the world of the visual arts,people still make distinctions between “fine arts” and everything else—and it gets really confusing,at times.For instance,we'll talk about painting and sculpture,and automatically consider these as fine arts.The decorative arts,which are,sometimes,of a finer nature and craftsmanship than fine arts,are not called “fine”.
