The word collage first appeared in visual arts.

Visual art refers to the use of certain materials and techniques to create works of art for people to watch. Broadly speaking, sculpture, painting, photography and other arts belong to it, and its creative methods are not only diverse, but also very diverse in modelling technique.

Works of art include both two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms, as well as dynamic and static art forms. Among them, three-dimensional space art, such as sculpture and architectural art, is often called plastic arts.

In addition, visual art is different from auditory art, which mainly emphasizes people's visual feelings. Therefore, art forms including visual art and auditory art, such as film and television art, are usually classified as comprehensive art forms.

In a narrow sense, visual art usually refers to graphic art works such as painting, printmaking, oil painting and photography. The application of visual arts includes applied arts, decorative arts and handicrafts, but these cannot be generalized.

/kloc-before the British arts and crafts movement in the second half of the 0/9th century, visual artists were limited to artists who created art (such as painting, sculpture or printmaking), and did not involve craftsmen and arts and crafts artists. Those artists who highly praised their art in the arts and crafts movement strengthened the differences among visual artists.

Art colleges believe that artisans cannot represent art, which makes the differentiation between art and handicrafts more obvious. The growth trend of aristocratic privileged painting and sculpture far exceeds other works of art, becoming the characteristics of the West and the East. Oriental and western painting depends on the artist's imagination to a great extent, and even requires labor.

In Chinese painting, what people admire most are master paintings, at least amateurs with theoretical training. Western artistic level also shows the same attitude. Visual art is different from auditory art, it is the art of seeing and touching with hands, emphasizing authenticity.

Painting, sculpture, clothing and photography are all traditional visual arts. Film and television art, animation art and environmental art have not existed for a long time, but they have played a great role. Film and television art and animation art belong to comprehensive art, which is both visual art and auditory art.
