| Graphic Arts A category of fine art, graphic art covers a broad range of visual artistic expression, typically two-dimensional. The term usually refers to the arts that rely more on line or tone than on color, especially drawing and the various forms of engraving. It is sometimes understood to refer specifically to printmaking processes, such as line engraving, aquatint, drypoint, etching, mezzotint, monotype, lithography, and screen printing (silk-screen, serigraphy). Graphic art further includes calligraphy, photography, painting, typography, computer graphics, and bindery. It also encompasses drawn plans and layouts for interior and architectural designs. |
