VISUAL ARTS
The visual arts are art forms that create works that are primarily visual in nature, such as ceramics,
drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video, film making and
architecture. These definitions should not be taken too strictly as many artistic disciplines (performing
arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types. Also
included within the visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion
design, interior design and decorative art.
The current usage of the term "visual arts" includes fine art as well as the applied, decorative arts and
crafts, but this was not always the case. Before the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain and elsewhere at
the turn of the 20th century, the term 'artist' was often restricted to a person working in the fine arts (such
as painting, sculpture, or printmaking) and not the handicraft, craft, or applied art media. The distinction
was emphasized by artists of the Arts and Crafts Movement who valued vernacular art forms as much as
high forms. Art schools made a distinction between the fine arts and the crafts maintaining that a
craftsperson could not be considered a practitioner of art. (From Wikipedia 2012)

DIGITAL ARTS
Digital art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation
process. Since the 1960s, various names have been used to describe the process, including computer
art and multimedia art Digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art.
A plastic sheet with a photosensitive emulsion that comes in various formats for still and video cameras.
When exposed to light, plastic-based film creates an "analog" of the actual scene. Film was never
called analog until digital cameras came on the scene.
