Art can be classified in 2 categories i.e. fine arts and performing arts.
However, the term 'art' is considered different from 'arts'. The former is used
to group together only the visual forms of art. Other types such as literature
and performing arts do not come under the term 'art'. A broad classification of
visual arts classifies them into different groups like painting, drawing,
sculpting, architecture, printmaking, ceramics, photography, collage, digital
graphics, film-making, etc. Earlier, handicrafts and applied arts were not part
of this category. It was only in the beginning of 20th century that the 'Arts
and Crafts Movement' (Britain) brought a lease of life to these art forms.

Sculpting
A sculpture is a three-dimensional artwork created with the help of materials like rocks, wood, plastic, clay, etc. Carving out a sculpture and assembling it are the 2 different ways. In some cases, sculptures may also be painted.
