Types of art

"The persistence of memory"  Salvador Dali















Digital art, Drawing, Architecture, Impressionism, Cubism .... It seems those words are familiar . We have heard them. What those words really mean? I decided to start art selfstudying with types art. I think this is the easier way to start.

In heptagrama.com lists the following types of art:

Animation, a variant of cinema which basically includes drawn characters
Architecture, the art of projecting and designing buildings, and managing space
Body art, which uses the human body for expression as canvas, like tattoos or make-up
Brief art, made in such a way it will not last long, like fruit sculpture
Cinema, the art of creating sensations with recorded movements and dialogues
Comic writing, the art of telling an story with drawings and scripts
Dance, the art of moving, either with music or without it
Digital art, art made with vectors and pixels in a computer
Drawing, the art of creating meaningful shapes from nothing, generally on paper

Engraving, a variant of sculpture, generally made in smaller items
Fractal art, art made from the physical expression of mathematical calculations
Gastronomy, which is the art of mixing flavours and causing pleasures with meals
Gold-smithery, silver-smithery, and jewellery, the art of creating jewels
Graffiti, a recent kind of painting
Music, the art of sounds, the art of silences
Opera, an art which combines singing, music, and theatre
Painting, one of the oldest art known by man, the art of expressing things with colour
Photography, the art of capturing a moment in a film or a computer file
Poetry, a kind of writing not as focused in stories as in the sensations words and meanings bring
Pottery, the art of transforming clay and mud into beautiful recipients
Sculpture, the art of giving shape in volumes
Singing, the art of human voice, solo or combined
Theatre, the art of representing a story before an audience
Woodwork, the art of transforming wood into other forms
Writing, the art of telling stories only with words . 

Further we will study mainly but not only painting and drawing.
