Fine art or the fine arts encompass art forms developed primarily for aesthetics and/or concept rather than practical application.
Historically, the five greater fine arts were painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry, with minor arts including drama and dancing. Today, the fine arts commonly include the visual art and performing art forms, such as painting, sculpture, collage, decollage, assemblage, installation, calligraphy, music, dance, theatre, architecture, film, photography, conceptual art, and printmaking. However, in some institutes of learning or in museums fine art, and frequently the term fine arts (pl.) as well, are associated exclusively with visual art forms.
One definition of fine art is "a visual art considered to have been created primarily for aesthetic purposes and judged for its beauty and meaningfulness, specifically, painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor, graphics, and architecture."
The word "fine" does not so much denote the quality of the artwork in question, but the purity of the discipline. This definition tends to exclude visual art forms that could be considered craftwork or applied art, such as textiles. The visual arts has been described as a more inclusive and descriptive phrase for current art practice, and the explosion of media in which high art is now more recognized to occur.

Art is a term that describes a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities, but is most often understood to refer to painting, film, photography, sculpture, and other visual media. Music, theatre, dance, literature, and interactive media are included in a broader definition of art or the arts. Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences, but in modern usage the fine arts are distinguished from acquired skills in general.
Many definitions of art have been proposed by philosophers and others who have characterized art in terms of mimesis, expression, communication of emotion, or other values. During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science".
The nature of art, and related concepts such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.
The Encyclopædia Britannica Online defines art as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others". By this definition of the word, artistic works have existed for almost as long as humankind: from early pre-historic art to contemporary art; however, some theories restrict the concept to modern Western societies. The first and broadest sense of art is the one that has remained closest to the older Latin meaning, which roughly translates to "skill" or "craft." A few examples where this meaning proves very broad include artifact, artificial, artifice, medical arts, and military arts. However, there are many other colloquial uses of the word, all with some relation to its etymology.

I've got my black garbage bag
Picking up parts from the wreckage of the blast
I'm trying to piece together this
Giant puzzle hidden within the crash
All the salvage in an
Airplane hanger now
Closer to the mystery than
Looking inside each crumpled body bag
It all happened in a flash
It was a mighty fine ride [x4]
Loved ones are questioning
They hug each other in a conference room and cry
Dreading the inevitable
Bracing themselves for the worst
Investigators bent over the box
It seems the truth is an elusive terrorist
And the stench is knocking me out of here
In this centralized morgue
It was a mighty fine ride [x4]
Creeping around and it's a violent "Bye"
And I try to explain, I try to apologize
I don't think they see me standing here
And I, I wonder why
I've got my black garbage bag
Picking up parts from the wreckage of the blast
I'm trying to piece together this
Giant puzzle hidden within the crash
All the salvage in an
Airplane hanger now
Closer to the mystery than
Looking inside each crumpled body bag
It all happened in a flash
It's six o'clock now in the morning
As I wait for my train to come
To take me somewhere just outside of Boston
As I run to find the other sun
Now I'm leaving more behind than I care to talk about
Just more pain than this hard a man can use
As this big world's always spinning
All that I thought I was winning
I never thought, I never thought I'd lose
And this great force it takes me to the ferry
To cross wind and water so untamed
And while on that ship my life just seems so very
Small in comparison to everything around
There's a girl over there she's got mahogany hair
And eyes of sweet amethyst
I bow as she curtseys
She doesnt't't look like she's gonna hurt me
So I decide to add her to my list
And she says
She says
Wont you stay on the vineyard for the summer
Wont you stay on the vineyard for the year
We'll find a little house down there in Oak Bluffs
And our children is all that we hear
I seems now that I should be going
As that one day turned into five or six
Although Im loving all the beautiful things she's showing me
I pack up and am enveloped by the mist
But that girl over there has mahogany hair
And her eyes of sweet amethyst
I think maybe it would be better
If I just wrote her a letter
But instead she grabs me and we kiss
And she says, And she says
Wont you stay on the vineyard for the summer
Wont you stay on the vineyard for the year
We'll find a little house down there in Oak Bluffs
And our children is all that we'll hear
Wont you stay on the vineyard for the summer
Wont you stay on the vineyard for the year
Well find a little house down there in Oak Bluffs
And our children is all that we'll hear
[Werd:]
Yo pay attention man
This ones for the other emcees
Just my thoughts you know listen up
I got a question if you rapping as well
Is that music for yourself or for people to sell
And when you write a rhyme do you think of a basis
Do you either overcomplicate or make too basic
And if you do spit sick on base kicks
There's no demand man fans chosen their favorites
Because shops is selling these rappers will felonies
That cut crack bust ghats is that what they telling you
I don't trust these celebrities
I respect the broke cunts that just do it anyway
That swing clubs and got it down to a T
That get paid pennies but would do it for free
See that hustle it's nothing to a G
But that's like Vienna it means nothing to me
[Sample: Ultravox]
The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
[Deeko:]
I am
Walking a thin line but with this gift I will grip mics
Spit it with a thirst never think twice
About being on top I want to live my Life
To the point that I didn't wish I that Id taken a different flight
So now I'm in the position where people give advice
You got to show them who you are when they hit the lights
To never show no weakness no crib tonight
And al be happy in death long as I did it right
And if the memory fades al never let it get to that stage
Cause my music is getting replayed
And when my time is done I will let the pendulum sway
So make a smile raise a brow if they mention my name
Just remember that how I came up and showed them the deal
I made something from nothing
I don't think they know how it feels in this field
[Sample: Ultravox]
The image has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
[Werd:]
My tongue flicks on drum kicks you dumb shits get done quick
Have fun with your one hit then fuck it your done with
I come with that cunt shit that chav shit I run this
No gun clips or drug flips so judge it on just this
There's no underground see it's good or it's not
Because if I was popular you'd be calling me pop
If you add a wee guitar you start calling it rock
Fuck it call it what you want man am stoned out my box
Trying fucking figure out how to figure it out
But all I got so far is get your finger out now
Too many rappers are sitting and rapping
Expecting shit just to come and start happening
I'm not slagging but it's my passion
So I get pissed off with you following fashions
Following flash and just trying to cash in
Say that you make it that's when I start laughing
[Sample: Ultravox]
The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me

stayed in bed
i'm not a sleepyhead
i've been accused of dreaming in neverland
what you don't know
i guess you'll never know
that i'm frustrated living from mouth to hand
it's nothing personal
but it can't hurt to know
your circles and the ways that you meet
i'm kind of ordinary
you think you're so so fly?
how can i help you, let you see me?
chorus
i wanna place at the vineyard
i wanna place where the grapes are sweet
i wanna be where you are
pretty soon you'll be saying that
you live next door to me
my broken heart?
no babe, i'm not hard
you see, i'm used to work but i'm underpaid
but bide my time or do the power climb
i want to live where i can play everyday
it's nothing personal
so what i'm poor and fertile
still deserve to live on the land
don't need a reservation
i'm parking my own car
beside the river view on the pier
chorus
how long am i waiting for this?
so long mr. neighbor- kiss-kiss
hello to the future in heavenly bliss
I want to tell you 'bout something fun
So I wrote you this song
If you've ever been to Disneyland
You know the lines can be real long
But I got a ride that the bitches love
And you won't have to wait at all
All you've got to do is ditch your boyfriend
And give sexy Michael Starr a call
I'll take your ass for a weenie ride
Spread your cheeks and swallow your pride
It's scary like a rollercoaster
It will stretch you out so wide
Gonna take your ass for a weenie ride
Hold on tight 'cause I'm coming inside
It's better than a ferris wheel or a water slide
It's a weenie ride
I want to sing about a thing that's funner than a swing and better than the
Monkey bars
You can take it on the couch or your water bed or in the back of your
Daddy's car
And it's open all day, night time too, seven fucking days a week
It only shuts down intermittently so I can take a leak
So put that snatch on a weenie ride
Ride her face down or on your side
You'll be amazed what you can fit in there
When some leverage is applied
Open your legs for a weenie ride
You won't be the first to see it and cry
Just bring the baby wipes and some astroglide
It's a weenie ride
Oh yeah
Scream for me
Honey, won't you try the weenie ride
You're never gonna be the same
Baby, how you gonna get to Heaven if you can't take a little pain?
Step right up for a weenie ride
It's even more fun when you're gagged and tied
Oops, I think I got a little DNA
All over your backside
Go on and tell your friends about the weenie ride
You can charge admission, baby, I don't mind
Even with the big old muff you won't get tonight
For the weenie ride
Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Ride (It's a weenie ride)
Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Ride (Come spread your
Thighs)
Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Ride (Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh
Ooh, Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh)
Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Ride (It's a weenie ride)
Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Ride (It's a weenie ride,
Yeah)
Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Weenie Ride (Baby, baby, baby)
I thought Ween was punk rock,
Stupid hippies fucks,
At least now i got a hookup,
For some Birkenstocks.
I knew you were wainwright,
Strapped to my car,
In the room in the darkness,
I don't have to be a hero
I can just walk these streets
Wait around for a drive-by wake up call
I don't have to go work just to the job complete
That kind of work always me feel so small
It's your concern, it' my concern
You tell me that you love but, but love is such a funny word
I could hitch a ride to Phoenix or up to Ontario
There'll always be a stranger with a light for my soke
I could dream about the big time
I could play the lottery
Make my first million from a gas station scratch-off machine
It's your concern, it's my concern
You ask me if I love you
Don't ask a question with such a funny word
It's really funny you let me sleep all morning
You let me share your bed and you say that I need to make a few new friends
Love works both ways you tell me every day
But love is such a funny word, oh baby
Love is such a funny word
