Graphics

Graphics is a broad category of artistic creativity encompassing various techniques and materials. It includes both traditional methods such as drawing and engraving, as well as modern methods such as digital graphics. It is in graphic art that artists are able to convey their ideas through lines and forms, creating expressive images that can be both abstract and realistic.

Painting and graphics, although different, are closely related. For example, artists often use graphic methods to develop sketches before executing large works.

Fun fact: in the 18th century, "graphic jokes" were popular - vicious caricatures in newspapers that served as a kind of "graphic satirical art". This shows how graphics can ironize society!
