I bumped our Botticelli-General Questions thread. The Arts: Major constituents of the arts include **visual arts** (including architecture, ceramics, drawing, filmmaking, painting, photography, and sculpting), **literary arts** (including fiction, drama, poetry, and prose), **performing arts** (including dance, music, and theatre), and **culinary arts** (including cooking, chocolate making and winemaking). Does that help? ---
