The Visual Arts and its Branches

Abstract

Art is a human conception made manifest by the skilful use of a medium. It signifies making, fashioning or putting together, and it usually implies that the thing is accomplished by human skill (Uzoagba 2000). Furthermore, it is a way of making and communicating meaning through imagery and performances. It is a unique symbolic domain and is a discipline with its particular demands and core of learning. Art is a natural and enjoyable way of extending and enriching the child’s experience of the world (visual Arts curriculum, 2010).
