applied art definition

Applied arts is a term used for the employment of beauty and design to useful objects.  Though it can be difficult to separate the two, fine arts are usually placed in the category of art that awakens the mind and/or appeals to one's academic, intellectual response.  Fine art can occur in any type of art form, such as music or sculpture.  It often requires years of intense study by an artist to create a piece of excellent fine art.  Applied arts, on the other hand, apply imaginative ideas to objects that serve everyday needs.  Types of art that are regarded as applied arts include fashion design, decorative design and industrial design.  As it relates to academics, some parts of education are regarded as applied science and others as applied arts, though both may contain overlapping methods of areas of pedagogy.
