[edit] Dance is "plastic art"?
It could be, if you consider the visual, plastic aspect of dance, sort of like moving sculpture. so that sort of puts it in two categories, a plastic art, and a performing art. Tom 00:32, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
The purist would argue that the word plastic means what is says and adjoined to arts means literally the application or use of plastic in creativity. In this sense dance does not sit comfortably as an art form under this expression. But, as modern language evolves, the idiomatic and colloquial become the order of the day that even lexiconists enshrine in their dictionaries. The history of dictionaries is the history of how language changes and how meaning is diffused across a wider expression. Who would have believed that art could mean what is conceived as well as what is produced. Mmm? MAG 091205

Please correct me if I am wrong, but dance is not really one of the Plastic Arts is it? Duncan Smith 11:42, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
