Music...always and forever...

Through that door, is a seperate reality.
That's one art I forgot to mention in my favorites.
My music is similar to my paintings. Dark, creepy, and mysterious. Pretty Much, metal, and dark, emotional, classical music.
I also enjoy cooking.

Well, this is kind of obvious but video games. Personally, I see video games as the ultimate art form, especially when done right. What you get from paintings, books, and even music, can all be found within a video game. You get beautiful visuals, you get story, and you get music all in motion. The same can be found in television and movies, but what really makes video games that much more special is the interactivity. I'm not just watching, I'm controlling, connecting, experiencing. It's an amazing mix. But not all games capture this side of the medium. Sometimes, games are just meant to be fun, nothing more. There are only very few games that truly leave me mesmerized. Games like Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Resident Evil REmake, Alan Wake, Gears of War, and Halo 4. My taste varies, but usually I'm more into the dark gritty kind of visuals, but I can appreciate the bright colorful worlds of Super Mario Galaxy, Wind Waker, and Halo.
Other than games, I guess my only other top art forms include animation and music. Lately, I feel like I've grown a stronger appreciation for music. I've always enjoyed music, but there has been certain songs that just really stand out to me. The sound, the lyrics, the emotion, meaning, etc. For example:

I love landscapes, seascapes and sunset paintings. I also love photography, if that can be classified as an art. My sister is a fantastic photographer in my eyes, and I could look all day at her pictures.
I love literature too. You can paint a masterpiece with mere words. And this is the kind of writer I would like to be - one who moves her audience with words alone. :smile:

I don't think photography is an art, since art is creativity, and pictures are just copying an art.

Photography is most DEFINITELY an art...Anything you put your whole heart and your whole soul into for the sake of what you find truly beautiful is an art...How is it fair to consider video games an art and not photography. Besides, you're telling me that if you take a picture of a flower on a flip phone, and then take one with a camera that you can truly refine how the photo will come out, that the two will be the exact same? no...Not at all...That's just unfair...Photography is DEFINITELY an art...

Like KennedyKiller said, music. I could live without TV, videogames and paintings, but not without music. It's everywhere! In the shopping mall, at the coffeehouse, the restaurant, at home... Most people probably don't realise it because it's so omnipresent, but if it was suddenly missing, we would definitely take notice. Also, music plays an important part in both TV shows and videogames, so even if we abandoned it for the sake of those, it would automatically affect them too. The presence or absence of music also affects me when I'm writing my novels, or doing anything else that is creative. Music FTW!

Pencil / hand drawing is where my heart lies.
Computerised art and a good orchestrated tune I think are very enjoyable too
Also
Art comes in many different forms
The landscape sculpts it but it takes someone with eye to capture the perfect details through a lens.
I'm not a big fan of photography but I can't deny appreciating the depth that someone has captured with a camera
Tracing however I'm completely opposed to. THAT is copying art and I used to think it was the "devils way of drawing" in school xD

No. No. No.
I think you're a little nearsighted as to what photography really is. It isn't just taking a picture and printing it out, it hardly works like that at all. While it is possible to take pictures of a single subject and only lightly edit it, often times, photography uses a specific effect to make every single picture unique. Light trails, macro photography, selective coloring, forced perspective, and many, many more. And that's just for digital photography. While I don't have much experience in film photography, I've finished a few shots and developed them, and let me tell you, it is tough to get the perfect exposure in film photography. And even after that, you've still gotta enlarge it and get another good exposure. And if you mess up developing it? You gotta do it all over again. Never say something isn't art just because you don't think it is, because that's honestly one of the ****tiest things anyone could do. Art is something that a person pours their heart into, and photography is a great medium to do so for many people who are lacking in other skills.

i personally have a very broad definition of art..music is definitely no. 1 for me, followed closely by expressionism in the form of putting your own style on something. in my case, skateboarding, playing fighting games, driving; as one of my favorite skateboarders jerry hsu once put it, it's awesome when you can watch a silhouette of a skater and know who it is solely from his style and the way he does certain things
