The Three Traditional Forms Of ART (Explained)

Art is used to refer to a wide range of human practices of creative expression, storytelling and cultural participation. Arts is a vehicle through which human beings cultivate distinct social, cultural and individual identities, while transmitting values, impressions, judgments, ideas, visions, spiritual meanings, patterns of life and experiences across time and space.

Traditionally, art is divided into 3 forms:

1. Literary arts
2. Visual arts
3. Performing arts

Literature is literally “acquaintance with letters. The term has generally come to identify a collection of writings, which in Western culture are mainly prose (both fiction and non-fiction), drama and poetry.

In much, if not all of the world, the artistic linguistic expression can be oral as well, and include such genres as epic, legend, myth, ballad, other forms of oral poetry, and as folktale. Comics  also form a part of literature, they are the combination of drawings or other visual arts with narrating literature.
