In addition, the process of painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, and music involve the application of a variety of different artistic practices including movement, materials, and expression. Additionally, in addition to the application of physical tools and the manipulation of various materials, artists must also utilize the application of mental processes in order to create meaningful and original works of art. In a broad spectrum of art forms, you will find the following categories: visual/permanent arts, sound arts, performing arts, literature and film, music, and art and visual culture.

Furthermore, each of these art forms is an expression of the aesthetic senses through which we view the world and each other. Because fine art is such an active and involved process, it should be approached as such. An appreciation of this will lead to the creation and appreciation of the works of other artists.
