Fine art describes an
art form developed primarily for
aesthetics and/or concept rather than
utility.
Today, the fine arts commonly include
visual and
performing art forms, such as
painting,
sculpture,
music,
dance,
theatre,
architecture,
photography and
printmaking. However, in some institutes of learning or in museums
fine art, and frequently the term
fine arts (pl.) as well, are associated exclusively with the visual art forms.
Art is often a synonym for fine art in this sense, as employed in the term "art gallery".
Historically, the fine arts were limited to painting, sculpture, architecture and engraving
