Plastic arts are art forms which involve physical manipulation of a plastic medium by molding or modeling such as sculpture or ceramics. The term is also used to refer to the visual arts (such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, architecture, film and photography), rather than literature and music.[1] Materials for use in the plastic arts, in the narrower definition, include those that can be carved or shaped, such as stone or wood, concrete, glass, or metal.
"Plastic art" should not be confused with the art described by Neoplasticism. Piet Mondrian wrote an essay in 1937 entitled "Plastic Art and Pure Plastic Art (Figurative Art and Non-Figurative Art) ", published in the book CIRCLE. In this essay, as the title implies, "plastic art" is described as "figurative" and "objective"; whereas "pure plastic art" is "non-figurative" and "subjective".[2]
