What is Fine Arts: Study in Depth

Fine art refers to most art forms that involve high aesthetic value and beauty, more than not functional value.  The study of fine arts requires creativity, imagination, aesthetics as well as an intellectual bent of mind. Those blessed with an aptitude for it need to back it up with a formal degree to pursue a career in a specific discipline of fine arts.

Fine arts included disciplines like painting, sculpture, architecture, music, poetry, performing arts (theatre and dance). Fine art focuses and appreciates the visual aspect of things.  Fine Arts is a broader umbrella term that includes visual arts, performing arts, poetry, music, dance, film etc. Fine arts developed further in Europe to help beautify areas and to create atmospheres.

Today, many subjects are taught to students of fine arts, such as creative painting, portrait painting, mural painting, printmaking, creative sculpture, textile design, interior design, photography illustration, computer graphics, display design, etc.
