So can we have an Art category please?
Not "the arts", just Art please.

I’m not sure about the desirability of having a large number of separate forums. There’s an ‘Art & Literature’ forum which currently has only fifteen topics in it, and I’m inclined to think that music topics would fit in nicely there.

Could there be a History section please?

I’ve added a new section here: History & Geography

A first post could be about this television programme that is now available at present.

I have not watched it yet, but it looks as if it might well be good.

I posted this link to the Stonehenge thread in the Serif forum today.

Is there a way to easily copy all of that thread to a new thread in the Mathematics and Science section of this forum please?

William

I imagine you would have to do something similar to what you did for the thread about The Race on DaisyTrail.

As I asked a couple of weeks ago:

My recent post

Sculpture in the city

could be moved there as could some other threads.

I have just posted a poem in response to a post by William, in the old Lounge, in the Video thread. It's the wrong place, like off topic, and with permission I'll post it here.

Here in this topic clearly wouldn’t be the right place, but since this section is currently such a mishmash I don’t see any reason for it not to reside in a new Discussion topic until such time as we have a more suitable category.

What about literature topics?
Poetry etc.

The poem is, in my opinion, really good.

So in which category, and in which thread within that category, would it be posted in this forum?

Posted as just forum text like this, or in an image produced using Serif software?

If the latter, which font would be a good choice?

Would the poem be the same regardless of the font or would the font nuance its meaning?

William

Well, the study of subjects such as French as a language is regarded as an "Arts" subject.

William

Some Arts students study Physics as ‘Natural Philosophy’. There’s a wide range of taxonomic choices we can make here!

Is ‘Art & Literature’ too broad? I’m inclined to think so, but I’d like to hear what other members think.

I suspect that most of us think of things like drawings, paintings and sculpture when we hear the word ‘art’. There’s also ‘the arts’, which would include music and literature, and the performing arts.
