And what? They are somehow separate from a University's Liberal Arts program? Not separate but distinctly different. Fine Arts Art (as sculpture or music) concerned primarily with the creation of beautiful objects. Liberal Arts These were grammar, logic and rhetoric and the subjects they included were literature, philosophy, language and history. Plenty of room for socialism there. These are the distinctions.

Actually, the Liberal Arts traditionally comprise the Trivium and Quadrivium. The Trivium is grammar, rhetoric, dialectic, and the Quadrivium is arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and harmonics. In modern terms, this has taken the form of the humanities and social sciences, primarily, with enough mathematics and pure science required to keep one on one's toes. While it is true that the fine arts are sometimes part of the liberal arts college, it is often the case that they are segregated, as in the case of the Maryland School of Art, the Corcoran School of Art, and other such schools. Even when they are not in a seperate college, majoring in one of the fine arts often leads to the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, rather than the Bachelor of Arts. Thus, it is possible for the departments dealing with such subjects to be somewhat autonomous within a liberal arts college. So, the short answer is, painting and sculpture may be seperate, to a greater or lesser degree, from a university's Liberal Arts program......
