how many different forms of art are there
The arts The arts have also been classified as seven: Literature, painting, sculpture, and music comprise the main four arts, of which the other three are derivative; drama is literature with acting, dance is music expressed through motion, and song is music with literature and voice.[6]
High Renaissance The High Renaissance of painting was the culmination of the varied means of expression[14] and various advances in painting technique, such as linear perspective,[15] the realistic depiction of both physical[16] and psychological features,[17] and the manipulation of light and darkness, including tone contrast, sfumato (softening the transition between colours) and chiaroscuro (contrast between light and dark),[18] in a single unifying style[19] which expressed total compositional order, balance and harmony.[20] In particular, the individual parts of the painting had a complex but balanced and well-knit relationship to the whole.[21] Painting of the High Renaissance is considered to be the absolute zenith of western painting[22] and achieved the balancing and reconciliation, in harmony, of contradictory and seemingly mutually exclusive artistic positions, such as real versus ideal, movement versus rest, freedom versus law, space versus plane, and line versus colour.[23] The High Renaissance was traditionally viewed as a great explosion of creative genius, following a model of art history first proposed by the Florentine Giorgio Vasari.
