Ways of expressing
oneself through art
 Visual Arts
The visual arts are art forms that create works that
are primarily visual in nature, such as ceramics,
drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design,
crafts, photography, video, film making and
architecture.
2D art
Two-dimensional art processes and techniques are those that are
created on a flat plane. They have height and width, but not
significant depth. These include drawing, printmaking, painting,
photography, and some mixed media.
3D art
is the term used for computer art, produced with specialized
software, which makes characters and concept art for various
programmes, games and computer based platforms. It is a two-
dimensional picture, which when observed from a certain angle,
gives an illusion of a three-dimensional scene.
 Performance Art
is an artwork or art exhibition created through actions
executed by the artist or other participants. It may be
live, through documentation, spontaneously or written,
presented to a public in a Fine Arts context,
traditionally interdisciplinary.
Performance poetry 
is poetry that is specifically composed for or during a
performance before an audience. During the 1980s, the
term came into popular usage to describe poetry written
or composed for performance rather than print
distribution, mostly open to improvisation.

 Architecture
is the art and science of designing buildings and other
physical structures. A wider definition often includes the
design of the total built environment from the macro level
of town planning, urban design, and landscape
architecture to the micro level of construction details and,
sometimes, furniture.

almost exclusively with live performances in which the
action is precisely planned to create a coherent and
significant sense of drama.

bench.

Why is art not nature?
- Art is not nature because in many ways, art is not “natural”, it is
an artificial construct created by man. Sometimes it appears to be
close to nature or it may even sometimes “go beyond” nature but
it always returns to the mind, heart and hands of man.

Why does art involve experience ?

- Other than the creativity and imagination capabilities of an
individual, in order for you to actually maximize your talent and
skill and with the thought of sharing it with others Experience is
important.
