| '''Art''' is a broad subdivision of culture, composed of many expressive disciplines. In modern usage, it is a term broader than "art", which usually means the visual arts (comprising both [[fine art]], [[decorative art]], and [[crafts]]). The arts encompasses [[visual arts]], [[performing arts]], [[language arts]], and [[culinary arts]]. Many artistic disciplines involve aspects of the various arts, so the definitions of these terms overlap to some degree. | | '''Art''' is a broad subdivision of culture, composed of many expressive disciplines.
