"Graphic art is a category of fine arts. Its goal is to persuade, entertain, or convey ideas, emotions, and information by using images, and sometimes color and text. And it is everywhere. Graphic art is a broad term historically, and primarily, reserved for 2-D art processes and visual artistic expressions such as drawing, painting, photography, illustrating, calligraphy, etching, printmaking, and graphic design. Textural elements are important in graphic art and may be achieved through the choice of the medium and even the paper, canvas, stone, or wall-including cave walls-that are used as the foundation for the artwork"--.
