What types of art are considered to be visual art?

A. movies and photographs

B. paintings and music

C. spoken word poetry and dancing

D. opera and comic books

The correct answer is B. paintings and music. Visual art typically refers to art forms that are created primarily for visual perception, such as paintings, sculptures, drawings, photography, and other forms that can be seen and appreciated visually. While movies, photographs, spoken word poetry, dancing, opera, and comic books are all artistic forms, they do not necessarily fall exclusively under visual art. Movies and photographs, for example, can also incorporate auditory elements, and spoken word poetry and dancing involve a combination of verbal and physical expression. Opera combines multiple art forms such as music, singing, acting, and stage design. Comic books are a combination of visual art and storytelling.
