If performing arts have a special and unique quality about them, then do they dominate over visual arts? I personally believe that performing arts are indeed a higher form of art, but then we come to the question, which of the performing arts is the highest? I would say music because every human being can relate to music and music exists in every sort of culture. I can only say this from my very bias point of point as I am a performing artist and a music lover. I would personally rank art as so; music, dance, theater, and finally visual art. Then we must focus on the higher of art forms within the disciplines. Is it fair to say that the work of a composer is higher than the work of a cellist? Not at all, so to completely contradict myself there is no higher form of art. Everything in art exists on a common plain… Or does it?
