Question

Answer 1

Literary and visual arts generally refers to books, paintings, photographs, pictures, drawings, etc. While Performing Arts refers theater, music, magic, oral presentations, etc. Literary/Visual arts are more of a "constant" while Performing Arts are generally "time limited." Example of this would be a book versus a play. Performing Arts, in using living beings to "perform," act, speak, interact, sing, etc, allows it to elicit more emotion, feeling and opinion better than Literary and Visual Arts from the audience.
