graphic art
Printed visual work
Graphic art refers to visual art created through techniques that produce images on flat surfaces—drawing, printmaking, engraving, etching, lithography, and screen printing.
The term emphasizes process and reproduction: graphic arts traditionally involve creating images that can be printed in multiples.
In contemporary use, graphic art extends to digital illustration and design: She studied graphic art before becoming a commercial illustrator.
The related field of graphic design applies these skills to communication and advertising.
