Difference between visual art and fine art?

What's the difference between art history, graphic art and fine art?

• I'm looking at a college and they do 'art history' 'graphic art' and 'fine art'. the course details don't explain it very well, what's the difference?

• Answer:

  art history is pretty self explanatory: you study the history of famous art work and the famous artists, think of like a historian but with art graphic art: the "future" of art, this is all about computers: photoshop, illustrator using 3d programs and animation and stuff. u do draw and what not but its based around a computer setting fine art: for the mormons as i call it :P fine art uses virtually no technology, its all painting, drawing, sculpting, anything not to do with computers basically i personally think graphic art is more fun, but its more impressive if someone is more skillful at fine art
