Which basis is most accurate for identifying a work as visual art?

When its main experience is formed by seeing form, colour, line or space

The governing concept is that art types can be distinguished by the dominant sense and medium through which the work is experienced. A visual artwork communicates mainly through visible elements such as form, colour, line, shape, texture, space, or arrangement. Therefore, option A is correct: the viewer primarily understands the work by seeing its visual qualities. A song or a purely sound-based composition is mainly auditory, so option B describes another art experience. A written rule is an instruction rather than an art type, and option D directly denies the presence of visual form. The word “main” allows that some visual works may also include sound or movement, but their principal mode remains visual.
