The art and science of designing buildings and (some) nonbuilding structures.[5]

The style of design and method of construction of buildings and other physical structures.[5]

The design activity of the architect,[5] from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to

Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts.
Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the
addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism,
there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may
be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or moulded or cast.

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the
"matrix" or "support").[1] The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other
implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.

Literature broadly refers to any collection of written or oral work, but it more commonly and narrowly
refers to writings specifically considered to be an art form, especially prose fiction, drama, and poetry, in
contrast to academic writing and newspapers.[1] In recent centuries, the definition has expanded to
now include oral literature, much of which has been transcribed.[2]

Music is an art form, and cultural activity, whose medium is sound. General definitions of music include
common elements such as pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated
concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of
timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or
types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with
a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely
instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces
that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the
Muses").[1] See glossary of musical terminology.
Performing arts refers to forms of art in which artists use their voices, bodies or inanimate objects to
convey artistic expression. It is different from visual arts, which is when artists use paint, canvas or
various materials to create physical or static art objects. Performing arts include a range of disciplines
which are performed in front of a live audience, inducing theatre, music, and dance.

Film, also called movie, motion picture or moving picture, is a visual art-form used to simulate
experiences that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the
use of moving images. These images are generally accompanied by sound, and more rarely, other
sensory stimulations.[1] The word "cinema", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to
filmmaking and the film industry, and to the art form that is the result of it.
