The term "fine art" refers to an art form practised mainly
for its aesthetic value and its beauty ("art for art's sake")
rather than its functional value. Fine art is rooted in
drawing and design-based works such as painting,
printmaking, and sculpture.
Fine Arts also consist of painting, scuplture
and architecture. Some fine arts are in two

applied to a flat surface to create an image.
Fine arts require of the artist the mastery of
use of material/medium, technique and

is the skill of doing what can be done in a

medium and the ability to do it. (Feldman,
1982:269)
The materials used for painting are flexible,
durable, and inexpensive, because painting
attracts many temperaments, and because any
theme can be treated through this genre, that

 A. the style of
objective accuracy
In objective accuracy, the artist can do art by being
a detached observer or by employing a selective
eye.
 the artist as
detached observer
One characteristic of objective accuracy is the use
of technique by the artists where the artworks
seems to have been made by a reporter who is
observing a subject, or a photography using a
candid camera.
 the artist as
selective eye
The "illusion of reality" is creaated by elimination
of details that the eyes might see. There can be
"direct piling up of detail to create an impression
of the complexity of object".

 B. THE STYLE OF
FORMAL ORDER
Formal order in contemporary art is
associated with stability and permanence.
Formal order is exhibited by its qualities:
(a) intellectual order, (b) biomorphic order,
and (c) aesthetic order.
 c.the style of
emotion
Themes of emotion, feeling, romance
ar common features in painting.
 d. the style of
fantasy
As artists work, they discover a variety of
possibilities of achieving form and visual
effects, even new worlds they have not seen
it before or will never exist in the real world.
