[edit] Visual arts categories

Clubmarx 02:19, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC) I'd like the change the Visual arts page and category. I've been looking around to see how others categorize arts content, and I came up with this. It doesn't include everything. Then, it would make sense to - merge Visual arts and design into Visual arts and Design - Visual arts and design redirect to Visual arts

The rest outside Visual arts is for context - that is my draft as well. As for Fine arts, I think that usually refers to Performing arts, sculpture, and visual arts (excluding decorative arts). So there isn't a category fine arts, but the page would probably go under just Arts.

I know there's been some changes as discussed on Category talk:Art but not sure what's the current status.

  • Arts
    • Artists
    • Art history
    • Art materials
    • Art styles, periods, and movements
    • Architecture ...
    • Performing arts
      • Acrobatics
      • Acting
      • Choreography
      • Dance
      • Music
      • Opera
      • Puppetry
      • Singing
      • Storytelling
      • Theater
    • Sculpture (I don't think dance is part of plastic arts, so that just leaves sculpture.)
    • Visual arts
      • Art Shows & Exhibitions
      • Cinema
      • Decorative arts (this is different that arts & crafts - wikipedia just doesn't have much content on these)
        • Arts & Crafts
        • Pottery
        • Textile art ....
      • Design
        • Fashion design
        • Graphic design
        • Industrial design
        • Interior design
      • Drawing
        • Illustration
        • Comics ... (comics are illustrations, but in the interests of keeping the heirarchy pretty flat)
      • Painting
      • Photography
      • Printmaking

[edit] Art categories

A page is created at Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts/Art categories to plan art categories. Previous discussions are at Category talk:Art, Category talk:Visual arts and Category talk:Artists (there are likely more that I haven't found). The current schema on Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts/Art categories combines much of what is in previous discussions. --sparkit (talk) 16:00, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] merge

Is anyone up for merging the Visual arts category back into the Art category? -->>sparkit|TALK<< 03:40, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Printmaking should be a sub-category not just a page

There already is a Category:Printmaking. Clubmarx 07:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

- I know; i've added many articles to it. Are we talking about the same thing? I mean it shows here as a page only, when it should be a sub-category like other main technique groups Johnbod 02:35, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
