Environmental art forms occupy space and include installations and public art, using materials like wires, junk, and recycled materials.
Pictorial art forms use shapes, pictures, and graphics, and include painting, drawing, design, and photography, using materials like cameras, celluloids/negatives, and processing chemicals.
