The area of visual arts and design is extremely broad. Essentially, it is any art that you can see (though there may be a question as to whether drawings done using invisible ink, when it is not then decoded, are "visual" art), excluding human performance. Such forms of art fall into other categories such as theater, music, or opera, although there is really no clear boundary; see body art and interactive art, for example, or consider film, which can incorporate most other kinds of art.

The following is a list of various subjects related to visual arts and design:

Visual Art Genres

Craft
