    The document discusses the divisions and classifications of art. It identifies five types of art: practical arts, which serve a utilitarian purpose; liberal arts, which are academic disciplines that provide information; fine arts, which are visual arts created for aesthetic purposes; major arts, which include architecture, painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking; and minor arts, which include literature, music, dance and theater. It also discusses classifications of art based on the media and forms used, identifying plastic arts, phonetic arts, kinetic arts, pure arts, which use a single medium, and mixed arts, which combine multiple art forms or mediums.
