Plastic arts are art forms which involve physical manipulation of a plastic medium, such as clay, wax, paintTemplate:Snd or even plastic in the modern sense of the word (a ductile polymer)Template:Snd to create works of art. The term is used more generally to refer to the visual arts (such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, architecture, film and photography), rather than literature and music.[1][2] Materials for use in the plastic arts, in the narrower definition, include those that can be carved or shaped, such as stone or wood, concrete, glass, or metal.
History
The word plastic draws from the Ancient Greek Script error: No such module "Lang". (plastikós), which means 'to mold' or 'to shape'.[3] It has long preceded its dominant modern meaning as a synthetic material. The term plastic arts has been used historically to denote visual art forms (painting, sculpture, and ceramics) as opposed to literature or music.
The related terms plasticity and plasticism became more widely used in the early 20th century by critics discussing modern painting, particularly the works of Paul Cézanne.[4]
The oldest known "plastic art" dates back to 30,000–34,000 BP. [5]
Application to literature
In contrast to the limiting of 'plastic arts' to sculpture and architecture by Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling in 1807,[6] the German critic August Wilhelm Schlegel (1767–1845) applied the concept not only to visual arts, but also poetry.
Classical poetry lines he saw using plastic isolation, and rhyme falling under the Romantic (domain).[7]
In Schlegel's Viennese lectures (1809–1811), published in 1827 as On the Theory and History of the Plastic Arts, he contrasted the plasticism of Classical Art with picturesque Romanticism: Template:Quotation
