This term depicts creation which is primarily concerned
with aesthetics and beauty. The word was coined in 1767 as
an interpretation of aesthetic ex-pression by the French.
This art form comprises the arts of painting, printmaking
and sculpture. Art institutes and academies use the term
‘Fine Art’ from a traditional viewpoint for the visual
aspects of arts.
Fine Art stays within the traditional limits of the
academic world. The term "fine" does not define the artwork
qualitatively but points at aesthetic purity in its field of
art learning
The discipline of fine arts excludes branches of applied
art, craft and textiles. Fine art is both different and
distinct from the current trends in visual arts which has a
wider canvas.
‘Fine Art’ in the fine sense adheres to Aristotle’s
philosophy of beauty and perfection as the motive and the
purpose of creation. The final cause of art in this form of
thinking is the object of creation as absolute and complete.
It is to be perceived as a whole ––a thing of beauty.
