Visual arts
The visual arts is another word for art that can be seen. The visual arts (also known as the plastic arts) produce objects. They are different from the performing arts.
Examples are ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and poetry. Also, modern visual arts which use technology: photography, video, filmmaking and architecture.
Some art (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) is both visual art and other kinds of art.
The applied arts, like industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art are all kinds of visual art.[1][2][3]
