    Note: The arts are divided into various classes.

    {The useful arts},

    {The mechanical arts}, or

    {The industrial arts} are those in which the hands and body
    are more concerned than the mind; as in making clothes and
    utensils. These are called trades.

    {The fine arts} are those which have primarily to do with
    imagination and taste, and are applied to the production
    of what is beautiful. They include poetry, music,
    painting, engraving, sculpture, and architecture; but the
    term is often confined to painting, sculpture, and
    architecture.

    {The liberal arts} (artes liberales, the higher arts, which,
    among the Romans, only freemen were permitted to pursue)
    were, in the Middle Ages, these seven branches of
    learning, -- grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic,
    geometry, music, and astronomy. In modern times the
    liberal arts include the sciences, philosophy, history,
    etc., which compose the course of academical or collegiate
    education. Hence, degrees in the arts; master and bachelor
    of arts.

    In America, literature and the elegant arts must
    grow up side by side with the coarser plants of
    daily necessity. --Irving.

    Syn: Science; literature; aptitude; readiness; skill;
    dexterity; adroitness; contrivance; profession;
    business; trade; calling; cunning; artifice; duplicity.
    See {Science}.
