Many people have no idea what the term “Visual Art” means. The visual arts are forms of art that focus on the creation of pieces which can be seen visually. It includes graphic design, photography, painting, drawing, and filmmaking.
It is impossible to describe the whole field of visual arts. The history of visual arts is probably as old as civilization itself, starting from cave paintings such as religious representations, portraits, and landscapes. The movement of art is very fast. Just in the 20th century we can see over thirty different art movements. Some of the movements are impressionism, expressionism, futurism, surrealism, pop art, and minimalism.
What unites all of the visual art movements and styles are that the artists are constantly changing what already exists. They are always making changes to make sure that art stays exciting and alive. Artists are always inventing; they continue to introduce new ways of expressing emotions and conveying messages.
An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world.
-George Santayana
Art is never stagnant – it is as much of a living entity as are all the other human endeavors.
