Plastic arts
Plastic arts are those visual arts that involve the use of materials that can be moulded or modulated in some way, often in three dimensions. Examples are clay, paint and plaster.
The plastic arts may refer to:
- Architecture
- Ceramics
- Glass art
- Land art
- Metalworking
- Mosaic
- The use of Plastics within the arts or as an artform itself
- Sculpture
- Textile art
- Woodworking
Materials that can be carved or shaped, such as stone or wood, concrete or steel, are also included in this definition, since, with appropriate tools, such materials are also capable of modulation.
