What do we mean by the arts?
The arts means virtually any sort of creative activity. This includes:
- music - from rock to classical.
- crafts - from textiles to paper-making to pottery.
- performance - from street theatre and drama to dance.
- visual arts - such as drawing and painting, carving and sculpture, printmaking and murals.
- photography and video making.
It can also include mixing these together, for instance:
- Textile banners making and samba music workshops, working towards a carnival.
- A painted and printed mural based on photographic studies of buildings.
- A community performance that uses giant figures and masks, dance , slides and performance workshops to be a really spectacular event.
- An oral history project that records people's memories, thoughts and ideas using tapes, video or a book and includes creative writing and puppetry.
