Hello again! So, in this post we will discuss mainly about the different forms of art.
So, obviously if you have seen my first post you already know that art basically means skill or craft as derived from the Latin word ars. Although, this craft or the skill used to make something can be anything and this is why our topic for this post is 'Art in its many forms'.
Anyways, just to clarify some things, there are not just different types of art but there are also different types of artists. Art can mean different things to different people, for example, a painter's artwork is the picture he paints, a sculptor's artwork is the sculpture he makes, a musician's artwork is the music he composes and so on, so forth. We all must keep an open mind, as artists and their work come in many shapes and sizes. We must also keep in mind that art is an idea expressed in the most suitable, physical way possible and so whilst some of us might not understand it we should at least appreciate somebody's work as it has its own meaning or significance.
Now, there are so many different forms of art but let's just limit it to seven so, we can say that the main forms of art are painting, sculptures, literature, architecture, cinema, music and theatre.
Below are the definitions of the art forms.
- Paintings - these are the results of an application of paint using a paintbrush or other tools to make marks/paint on a plain surface.
- Sculptures - a three-dimensional object representing a certain idea.
- Literature - written works
- Architecture - the art of constructing and/or designing buildings.
- Cinema - a use of skills to create films.
- Music - how sounds are put together to create melodies.
- Theatre - live performances of plays.
Anyways, by now we should all have a fair idea of what the seven basic forms of art are and what they mean. I'd also like to thank you all for spending your time to read this and please share the link and comment.
