The arts is a broad subdivision of culture, composed of many expressive disciplines. In modern usage, it is a term broader than "art", which usually means the visual arts (comprising both fine art, decorative art, and crafts). The arts encompasses visual arts, performing arts, language arts, and culinary arts. Many artistic disciplines involve aspects of the various arts, so the definitions of these terms overlap to some degree. A precise definition of the arts can be contentious, but the following areas of activity usually are included: Architecture Art & Visual arts Crafts Dance Decorative art Design Drawing Film Language Literature Music Opera Painting Photography Poetry Sculpture Theatre & Performing arts
