Category: The Arts
The arts is a broad subdivision of culture, composed of many expressive disciplines. In modern usage, it is a term broader than “art”, which usually means the visual arts (comprising both fine art, decorative art, and crafts). The arts encompasses visual arts, performing arts, language arts, culinary arts, and physical arts. Many artistic disciplines involve aspects of the various arts, so the definitions of these terms overlap to some degree.
