It makes little sense in my opinion to have such complex categorisation and sub-categorisation in this area.

I would suggest that since Art most often refers to the visual or Fine Arts, that the subject is clarified with a top-level category of Art followed by subsections such as Artist, Media, perhaps in the following hierarchy, or something similar:

Art Artist Artists Contemporary Artists Painters Sculptors 20th Century Artists Artists by nationality Artists by medium Artists by period ...  Art Media Two dimensional art painting painting media oil painting watercolour painting ...     drawing printmaking printmaking media lithography intaglio ...     photography ...     graphic design illustration ...   Three dimensional art Sculpture sculpture media plaster clay ...      Ceramics Ceramic sculpture Functional ceramics ...   Four dimensional art Film Video Performance ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Duncanssmith (talk • contribs) 14:15, 13 April 2005 (UTC)

Art categories
A page is created at Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts/Art categories to plan art categories. Previous discussions are at Category talk:Art, Category talk:Visual arts and Category talk:Artists (there are likely more that I haven't found). The current schema on Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts/Art categories combines much of what is in previous discussions. --sparkit (talk) 16:01, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
