Scope Note:

Nonfiction work focusing on artists and arts such as painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, and ceramics. Types of films, programs, and video on art include biographical profiles of individual artists; histories of particular arts, schools of art, or movements; documentation of museum exhibitions or collections; and educational or even instructional work on artistic processes and techniques. Note: Not necessary to also use Documentary, since that is implied by the term Art. Do not use for avant-garde or so-called classic and foreign "art films." For work on the performing arts, see Dance, Music, Opera, Operetta, and Variety.
