Hey are there any art lovers in here? What's your favorite genre of art and what kinds of genres are there out there
I love art. If music is considered art, then that, Jazz band specifically. Otherwise I love pop culture stuff that makes you think is nice.
I'm really into almost anything to do with music or theatre....so Musical Theatre and Mtg are essentially my life...
Art in the form of music and paintings, drawings, ect. I'd say my favorites are landscapes and architectural
My girlfriend is in collage for graphic design, and has won a few awards for her work. She also makes all my avatars in her spare time for the various forums I go to online (like this one). I was art club president through high school, my favorite mediums being photography and clay. I wish I had acces to a nice camera and a kiln still :(
Btw I do have a thread dedicated to my 3D artwork in the "arts" section, you guys should check it out or shoot me a request
I'm actually a big fan of graffiti, tattoos and pencil. I feel like they are all virtually limitless canvases limited only by creativity and talent. But the same can be said about any art I guess. I have been playing with photography since I won my camera also, this is absolutely also a talent.
Video games. Easily one of my favorite art forms. A great game can combine beautiful visuals with excellent music, and when you tie all that in with a killer storyline, you have yourself a masterpiece. To this day one of my favorite games is Metroid Prime. I have yet to play the second or third, (which is very high on the todo) but that game is gorgeous! And the soundtrack on that game is one of the best I have ever heard, hands down.
Watercolor, ink, a pencil. I fiddle with photoshop but it's not a strong suit of mine. Acrylics at times but rarely. Do Legos count?

^ this, is very true. Even games that suck, can be beautiful. Look at Killzone Shadow Fall. That game just sucks, but I love looking at it. :)

Deadliest catch the video game. Nuff said.
What other art forms are there?
Well that depends.
What is art?
The dictionary defines art as
The creation of beautiful or significant things
The product of human creativity
A superior skill you can learn by practice, study, or observation
Photographs or other visual representation in a publication

Because i really like this subject:
#1 could include natural events such as growing trees and land formation which I would not call art. They are beautiful indeed and awestriking, but I think to separate art from beauty, art must be a deliberate thing.
I like definition #2
I think definition #3 can involve products that don't involve any creativity, which i believe is essential to art. It's not a bad definition though.
#4 is just too specific.
I know I'm being pedantic. But I think art involves creation via a product or a skill which must incorporate the idiosynchratic influence of the individual producing it.
So to answer your question in short, other forms of art involve any creation which is uniquely shaped by the artist. The medium is less important.

landscaping could be an art form. Planting trees, shrubs and other plants in beautiful formations
Writing could also most definitely be included. I do love a good read. :)

I mean like the formation of mountains over millions of years and stuff. Landsaping by people is totally artistic i agree
I love art and all kinds of it. I like to consider myself as an artist. I paint, sketch and write poetry.
I love anything the breaks the limits and boundaries :) I also have a love for abstract.
Well. I already told a couple people this, and I'm just going to tell everyone. I'm thinking about doing an art plane custom set. I've figured out what each color represents in this world (by figuring out the two color combinations) except for black. I have no clue what to do for it
