Something has gone wrong with this sentence: "The increasing tendency to prefer the painting styles, and to a lesser degree sculpture, of technique or style over another has been a feature of artist throughout the ages." I'm not sure exactly what point it is trying to make: is it about certain media having greater prestige than others or about certain styles having more prestige than others? How can the tendency be both "increasing" and "a feature of artist throughout the ages"? Furius (talk) 15:39, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That unfortunate sentence appeared with this edit of 9 May 2022. I have rolled it back to its previous state. Thanks! Just plain Bill (talk) 16:15, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've added my comment to the Talk page of "Plastic arts" before seeing the comment to write here instead. Egrabczewski (talk) 11:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That comment was I think 14 years ago. The talk page there is probably the best place to continue. Johnbod (talk) 16:50, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also just added a clarification to the lede on Plastic arts, changing "plastic" as commonly understood to be a polymer, to "plastic" as any material that shows "plasticity", etc. Because I was focusing on the material aspect of the lede, but then realized that the whole article is all over the place regarding the definition of "plastic" It is being used to describe: a material that has plasticity, plastic as a polymer, anything that can be physically manipulated such as stone and metal, the sense of plastic as in meanings changing in the mind, etc. etc.

Since all of these things, some contradictory, are being shoved under "Plastic arts", I would argue that almost anything could be described as a plastic art from one viewpoint or another. So I think that this information should all be part of Visual arts (in general) or tease out discrete aspects of the terms "Plastic art" and have separate articles. I am not knowledgeable enough to do this myself, but someone with an academic arts background could set up and consider the best way to handle this.  • Bobsd •  (talk) 16:36, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lack of history detailing other parts of the world besides Europe. Art history from all parts of Asia, almost all of Africa, and the Americas are missing. Providing information from these parts of the globe is essential to detailing art history as the world did not just take place in Europe. It creates a bias that Europe was much more advanced and civilized than the rest of the world because it was the only place with culture and art. Furthermore, These other areas provide different perspectives on how art evolved throughout time and are key to providing a thorough education on Visual Art history.Mordecai Clancy (talk) 04:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
