A Art, Types of (original) (raw)

This paper explores the classification of art, particularly through the lens of traditional art history, which comprises visual arts, applied arts, and performing arts. It examines how these classifications emerged from modern Western viewpoints and the ongoing debates regarding the definition of art, especially in archaeological contexts. The study emphasizes the ephemeral nature of performative arts and the challenges of their preservation, while also discussing evidence from musical, theatrical, and ceremonial arts in ancient societies.
