activities related to the production of works of art include the criticism of art, the study of
the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.

The three classical branches of art are painting, sculpture and architecture.
Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other
media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts. Until
the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from
crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic
considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from
acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts.
