cinema is called seventh art.what about first and second and thirdand others please?

Answer 1

Although there are several ancient classifications various "arts", the idea of cinema as "the seventh art" is NOT drawn directly from on any of these -- not a Greek system (and incidentally, there were nine muses, not six, and the classification based on them came much later), nor the medieval classifications (esp. the "seven liberal arts), nor the grouping of "six arts" which the Chinese attribute to Confucius

Rather the "six arts" are those suggested by Ricciotto Canudo (1879-1923), "the first theoritician of cinema."

It began with Canudo's 1911 book, *The Birth of the Sixth Art* in which he suggested that cinema was "the sixth art", which synthetized five other, viz., the spatial arts (architecture, sculpture and painting) and the temporal arts (music and dance).

But he later revised his system to add "poetry" hence moving cinema from sixth to seventh. His full-blown scheme is best know from his 1923 work, *Reflections on the Seventh Art*

So, according to Canudo's final system the six older arts are:

*architecture. sculpture, painting
*music, dance, poetry

Answer 2
