artist painting abstract art The visual arts involve any type of art that can be seen.  Visual art thus includes fine art, photography, and architectural design, as well as interior design, fashion design, and decorative arts and crafts.  Fine art may include paintings, drawings, sculpture, and even computer art.  Photography is the art produced from the photographer's view through the lens of a camera.  Architectural and interior design arts produce plans of structures and their interior layout, perhaps with the assistance of CAD software.  Architects and interior designers often incorporate current technologies, integrate cutting-edge materials, and consider cultural issues in their designs.  Fashion design includes not only drawing apparel design concepts, but also designing textiles and constructing them into attractive looking clothing and accessories.  Decorative arts and crafts are often visual art that is handmade with a decorative or functional purpose.  These may include fiber art, ceramic or glass art, and art from metal fabrication.

Oftentimes, an artist or art patron will exhibit his or her art collection to the public at an art gallery.  This Art Gallery Guide lists art galleries in the USA, organized by State.  You may enjoy famous art collections and exhibitions in museums like the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago Museum in Chicago, or the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

Browsing through any museum of art provides a feast for the eyes.  Paintings, sculptures, and other works made from a variety of materials fill the galleries.  As we study a piece of artwork, we can try to interpret what the artist was trying to visually express.

Visual art may be self-taught or require training at a qualified college or university, depending on the level of professional certifications or licenses required.  Careers as a visual artist range from the painter with a personal studio to an architect working for a major architectural firm.
