There are many different arts - literature, architecture, sculpture, painting, drawing, music, dance, theatre, cinema and others. Pieces of art can be perceived by eye and ear, they can be three-dimensional or two-dimensional. There are many styles and genres of art. Popular arts are music, theatre, painting and cinema. People need art as a way they understand the world around them. Though all people are different, everyone has his favourite art. The word «music» originates from the Greek word «Muse». There were 9 Muses (goddesses) in Greek mythology, each was in charge of an art or a science. Music is the art of combining sounds of voice or voices and/or sounds of musical instruments to produce harmony and express emotions. Pieces of music often move humans' souls and make people feel and suffer. Being a small boy, Chaikovsky was shocked by the sounds of music. Music always was used to inspire troops before battles.
The word «theatre» also originates from a Greek word. Theatre is not only the art of acting but also dramatic literature and the place where plays are performed. It was the Greek theatre where the main types of plays were defined (tragedy, comedy and drama). It is interesting to know that the tradition of making rich, beautifully decorated costumes also came from the Greek theatre. For centuries theatre has been the most popular spectator art for both rich and poor people. In Russia puppet theatres with Petrushka and other characters were very popular. Theatre was the place of meeting and dating for the nobles (just think of Leo Tolstoy's «War and Peace»).
Painting (the word is of Latin origin) is the art portraying or representing objects with line and colour. The first pictures were probably the pictures of animals and were drawn for the reason of magic. There are many items portraying gods. In Christianity they are called «icons». The most famous Russian icon painters were Andrey Rublyov and Pheophan Greek. Moslem religion prohibited to portray people and let artists paint only flowers and things because they have no souls. Painters express their ideas through composition, colouring and light and shade effect. There are many techniques developed through centuries to interpret the feelings of an artist into flat images on a canvas or a piece of paper.
Cinema is the youngest of the arts. It appeared in the XIXlh century when the special device was invented. At first, films were silent but later the techniques for shooting sound films and films in technicolour were developed. The problems of art in general and cinema in particular are discussed in the film entitled «A man from Capuchins' Boulevard»
