• Printmaking

• Printmaking


  • The first prints were probably made in ancient Mesopotamia. Later on they became popular in ancient Egypt and China. Printmaking spread to Europe towards the end of the Middle Ages
• Photography


  Making pictures by letting light through the lenses of a camera onto a film. In analogue photography light was recorded onto a film, which had to be chemically developed. Images could then be printed onto special paper. Today most photography is digital
• Filmmaking


  The process of making a film, generally in the sense of films intended for extensive theatrical exhibition. Filmmakers make moving images that they turn into films. It is a very expensive and complicated form of art, involving many tasks, for example scriptwriting, casting, and editing film sequences before they can be shown to an audience
• Computer Art


  Any form of graphic art or digital imagery which is produced with the aid of a computer, or any types of art in which the role of the computer is emphasized. This wide-ranging definition also includes traditional disciplines that use computers - for instance, it encompasses computer-controlled kinetic art (especially sculpture) or computer-generated painting - as well as equivalent forms of applied art (computerized designs, architecture)
• Sculpture


  Three-dimensional pieces of art that are created by shaping various kinds of material. Among the most popular are stone, steel, plastic, ceramics and wood. Sculpture is often referred to as plastic arts
• Plastic Art


  Art forms which involved physical manipulation of a plastic medium by molding or modeling. The term 'plastic art' includes art works that are molded and not necessarily plastic objects. This category consists of three-dimensional works like clay, plaster, stone, metals, wood and, paper (origami)
• Fine Art


  Art form practiced mainly for its aesthetic value and its beauty ("art for art's sake") rather than its functional value. Fine art is rooted in drawing and design-based works such as painting, printmaking, and sculpture. It is often contrasted with "applied art" and "crafts" which are traditionally seen as utilitarian activities
• Literary Art


  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
• Performance Art


  Artworks that are created through actions performed by the artist or other participants, which may be live or recorded, spontaneous or scripted
