Art includes creative writing, painting, theatre, music, dance and many crafts, such as pottery. By this definition of art, people who watch a television movie are seeing a form of art. Teenagers who buy and play records of popular music are listening to a form of art. And the millions who read paperback romance or adventure novels are enjoying art in still another form. Art is sometimes divided into two kinds, high art and popular art. High art appeals to a much smaller part of the population than popular art, but the number is large and growing. People who enjoy high art go to the opera and symphony concerts; they read serious books, they go to serious plays; they keep up with the art exhibitions at museums and galleries. Popular art consists primarily of programs which are meant to be watched today and forgotten tomorrow. Many popular songs are hits for a few weeks, then they disappear.
