Designed for its uplifting, life-enhancing qualities, fine art typically denotes the traditional, Western European 'high arts', such as: Drawing, Painting, Sculpture & Printmaking. Art Appreciation - Ronald John Cristobal, CTP  Visual art includes all the fine arts as well as new media and contemporary forms of expression such as assemblage, collage, conceptual, installation and performance art, as well as VISUAL ART photography, and film-based forms like video art and animation, or any combination thereof. Another type, often created on a monumental scale is the new environmental land art.

Three-dimensional artworks are made from everyday materials and "found objects“. Art Appreciation - Ronald John Cristobal, CTP  This category traditionally denotes functional but ornamental art forms, such as works in glass, clay, DECORATIVE wood, metal, or textile fabric.

While fine art provides intellectual stimulation to the viewer, applied art creates utilitarian items (a cup, a couch or sofa, APPLIED a clock, a chair or table) using aesthetic principles in their design. Folk art is predominantly ARTS involved with this type of creative activity. Applied art includes architecture, computer art, photography, industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design, as well as all decorative arts. Art Appreciation - Ronald John Cristobal, CTP  LANGUAGE OF ART Primary Language: It is built into us as a part of our human heritage. This is the language of arts to which we are all heirs and can respond, given the chance and some reassurance of its validity. Art Appreciation - Ronald John Cristobal, CTP  LANGUAGE OF ART Secondary Language: It is made up of the conventions, the traditions and styles, which have accumulated over the ages. The greater the number of works of art we come to know intimately, the larger our vocabulary of these conventions.
