Historically, the five main fine arts were painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry, with performing arts including theatre and dance.Today, the fine arts commonly include additional forms, such as film, photography, video production/editing, design, sequential art, conceptual art, and printmaking. However, in some institutes of learning or in museums, fine art and frequently the term fine arts (pl.) as well, are associated exclusively with visual art forms.[citation needed]
One definition of fine art is "a visual art considered to have been created primarily for aesthetic
and intellectual purposes and judged for its beauty and meaningfulness,
specifically, painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor, graphics, and
architecture."In that sense, there are conceptual differences between the fine arts and the applied arts.
As originally conceived, and as understood for much of the modern era,
the perception of aesthetic qualities required a refined judgment
usually referred to as having good taste, which differentiated fine art from popular art and entertainment.
The word "fine" does not so much denote the quality of the artwork in
question, but the purity of the discipline according to traditional
Western European canons.[citation needed] This definition originally excluded the applied or decorative arts, and the products of what were regarded as crafts.
In contemporary practice these distinctions and restrictions have
become essentially meaningless, as the concept or intention of the
artist is given primacy, regardless of the means through which this is
expressed.[citation needed]
Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. Except in the case of monotyping,
the process is capable of producing multiples of the same piece, which
is called a print. Each print is considered an original, as opposed to a
copy. The reasoning behind this is that the print is not a reproduction
of another work of art
in a different medium — for instance, a painting — but rather an image
designed from inception as a print. An individual print is also referred
to as an impression. Prints are created from a single original surface,
known technically as a matrix. Common types of matrices include: plates of metal, usually copper or zinc for engraving or etching; stone, used for lithography; blocks of wood for woodcuts, linoleum for linocuts and fabric in the case of screen-printing. But there are many other kinds, discussed below. Multiple nearly identical prints can be called an edition.
In modern times each print is often signed and numbered forming a
"limited edition." Prints may also be published in book form, as artist's books. A single print could be the product of one or multiple techniques.

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.
The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
Processing time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree program application requires more time than a Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree programs application differs. For example fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
