Read the text and say what kind of art you are interested in.
THE ART
Art includes music, literature, films, photography, sculpture, and painting. In a broad sense, all art is the opposite of nature: this idea lies in the contrast between artificial that is created by people and natural.
VISUAL ARTS
In the visual arts of Western civilizations, painting and sculpture have been the dominant forms for many centuries. In other cultures ornaments, masks, tattoos and metalwork have been the main forms of visual art. In the recent past, technology has made new forms of art possible, for example, photography and cinema; and today electronic media have led to entirely new ways of creating and presenting visual images.
PAINTING
If you want to see the paintings by a famous artist, you need to go to an art gallery or a museum. There you can see individual paintings and sometimes an exhibition. There are many different types and styles of painting.
