Definition

  • Fine arts may be defined as activities, or results of activities, involved in a type of human expression in which the application of skill and creativity to the structuring of formal qualities (such as colors, shapes, movements, sounds, etc.) results in an aesthetic whole. Examples range from the Paleolithic Lascaux cave paintings to Michelangelo's marble sculptures. [Source: Encyclopedia of Consumer Culture; Fine Arts]
