Classical arts refer to the traditional forms of art that have been developed and refined over centuries, particularly in Western cultures. This includes disciplines such as painting, sculpture, music, and theater. These art forms often emphasize techniques, structure, and the use of established styles, drawing inspiration from ancient civilizations like Greece and Rome. In addition to visual and performing arts, classical arts also encompass literature and architecture. Notable examples include the works of Shakespeare in literature and the grand designs of Roman and Gothic cathedrals. These art forms continue to influence contemporary artists and remain significant in cultural education and appreciation.
