What is meant by arts and humanities?

Hello Aishwaryapanuganti, Arts and humanities is about how human beings express emotions and ideas. Arts subjects teach how to create things like drama, paintings and music. Humanities subjects study how these ideas have affected human culture and society. However, there is a lot of crossover between the two areas, as well as with social sciences like anthropology, and subjects like law and modern languages are sometimes also considered to be humanities. Arts: Visual arts include painting, sculpture, photography, film and graphic design. Literary arts covers creative writing. Performing arts includes drama and dance. Music is often regarded as a performing art too, although some think of it as a separate subject. Humanities: Literature studies how authors and playwrights construct and express ideas in writing. Classics studies the art and culture of ancient civilizations. History studies why events in the past happened and what they mean today. Philosophy studies different ideas about what it means to be human. Religion studies different beliefs about god.
