Organization of the N schedule

N       Visual arts

           This is the broadest and most general of all the subclasses, except for NX.  It includes
              museums and exhibitions; as well as movements which cover more than one country.

NA     Architecture

           The most concrete form of art.

NB     Sculpture

           Goes from general to specific forms.  From large works to small works.

NC     Drawing. Design. Illustration.

            From stone to paper (hard to soft)

ND     Painting

             A special form of drawing.

NE     Print media

            Another special form of drawing.

NK     Decorative arts. Applied arts. Decoration and ornament.

            The smallest and most detailed forms.  The technical side of these forms go in T.

NX     The arts in general.

            This is for items which cover more than just the visual arts (music, etc.)

Other information

            Biographies are classified by the main type of work that the person did; and then by country.                 There are 2 tables used for "special artists" and "special countries".
         
            Countries may be subdivided by time period or artistic movement. Movements are also found               subclass N if the movement being discussed covers more than one country.
