Learn more about visual arts

Visual arts refer to art forms that are primarily created to be appreciated through sight. This broad category includes a variety of artistic expressions such as painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, printmaking, and filmmaking, as well as newer media like digital art and installations. Visual arts encompass both traditional and contemporary practices, with artists using various materials, techniques, and tools to create works that convey emotions, ideas, or messages. These artworks can range from realistic depictions to abstract expressions, and can be found in galleries, museums, public spaces, or private collections. Visual arts also play an important role in culture and history, often reflecting social, political, and technological changes. Beyond the creation of art, visual arts can be used in design, advertising, and communication, influencing how we perceive and interact with the world around us.
