The arts are a large part of culture, and the word means much more than "art". The arts include visual arts, literary arts (i.e. books and other writings) and performing arts (i.e. music, dance, drama).
"The arts" are usually contrasted with "The sciences".
Visual arts consist of any art that can be seen. This form of art doesn't change once it has been made.
Conceptual Art is art in which the idea is more important than the actual beauty of the object.
