NounSingular fine arts Plural pluralia tantum fine arts (plural pluralia tantum) (plural only; not used in singular form)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Fine art describes an art form developed primarily for aesthetics and/or concept rather than utility. Today, the fine arts commonly include visual and performing art forms, such as painting, sculpture, music, dance, theatre, architecture, photography and printmaking. However, in some institutes of learning or in museums fine art, and frequently the term fine arts (pl.) as well, are associated exclusively with the visual art forms. Art is often a synonym for fine art in this sense, as employed in the term "art gallery". Historically, the fine arts were limited to painting, sculpture, architecture and engraving.

Philosophy and sociology may count as humanities or social sciences or liberal arts, but not fine arts. Usually fine arts requirements are satisfied by taking something like music appreciation or art appreciation or possibly dance classes. Your literature classes may be considered fine arts - look in the course catalog online - but if the lit classes you've taken were to satisfy a literature requirement or a major requirement or even a world studies requirement, you can't use that same class to fulfill a fine arts requirement. Again, your college has its course catalog online, and they'll have the graduation requirements for your specific degree. They will have the information available that tells you exactly which courses can be used… [cont.] Answered by bookshop_lady - Wed Sep 3 17:38:13 2008 Does anybody know a good college in Northern California that teaches fine arts?

I won't even go into all the many awesome people who have studied there. It is an excellent school, though. EDIT: I believe this is the place I meant. I got the name from the biography of a former professor there (who actually completed his studies there too. His name is Victor Moscoso) Answered by jplatt39 - Thu Jan 28 05:05:23 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "fine arts" |
