Dividing the "Arts" ?

[KellyAssauer]

I need to divide the vast subject of “The Arts” into at preferably 5 (perhaps six) sub-catagories. I realize I could toss this in “ask the experts” but what the hey, why leave my friends? So, would it make sense to divide the main subject ‘the Arts’ into the following:

1. Art (painting drawing etc)
2. Writing
3. Photography
4. Theatre
5. Sculpture.

Does that basically cover it? Or am I really missing something?

thanks =)

Music.

I also think it depends what you mean by 'the Arts'. Because if you're using it in the academic sense then you also need to consider the Humanities etc.

ETA: And perhaps Film should be there? Maybe with theatre.

[KellyAssauer]

Omg duh, I had it in there once!

1. Art (painting drawing etc)
2. Music
3. Writing
4. Photography
5. Theatre
6. Sculpture.

better? or still missing?

[Silent Rob]

I reckon Sculpture is really part of the Art (in the sense that it's a similar method of expression, but using different media).

Is dance under theater?

[Ken]

... would agree with sculpture being under the same category as art. Dance would be under theatre, I'm guessing. Maybe film would be with photography and form a larger category like Celluloid, etc?

[sadron]

Dance and perfomance is under teather, me thinks. Otherwise it looks good list. :)

Maybe also Design, as in architecture and fashion.

Maybe your categories should encompass more? (Just my two pesos here)

1.) Visual
2.) Performance
3.) Literary
4.) Music
5.) Origami

I just woke up. I might have been pushing it with that last one.

Film is also an Art.

[Lyra Jean]

History is more Art than Science. If you're doing an academic angle.

My suggestion would be

1) visual arts--2D (e.g. painting, photography, graphic design, comics)
2) visual arts--3D (e.g. sculpture, architecture, textile arts, fashion, installations)
3) Performance arts (e.g. film, theatre, music--as performed).
4) Text arts (e.g. poetry, scripts, prose--as written)
