When we think of performing arts, what do we think of? When I think of performing arts, I think of "performance".(Excuse my obviousness). Performing that includes using our own bodies. Usually this means being visible to the audience in some sense. We are apart of the art. I grew up in performing arts, in a sense. Although I've made the occasional drawings growing up, I am more familiar with things like dancing and acting. While we could sit and draw someone, or even draw "something", we can also put on a performance piece and express something with our bodies and ourselves. I think that one can like both aspects of art. We can enjoy the stillness of the Mona Lisa, although her eyes might creep us out as they follow us about, and we can also enjoy the show "Wicked" and television show "Glee". One of the differences between the two includes interaction. A performing arts piece can be more interactive with the actual person while an artwork can allow the person to view the piece without necessarily viewing the artist.
