Perceptual Art Vs Conceptual Art

In our daily life, we do encounter art but ART has categorized in 2 types of art which is perceptual art and conceptual art.As below:


Perceptual Art

In practice, perceptual art may be interpreted as the engagement of multi-sensory experiential stimuli combined with the multiplicity of interpretive meanings on the part of an observer. Sometimes, the role of observer is obscured as members of the public may unwittingly or unknowingly be participants in the creation of the artwork itself. It is very often what is generally called performance art.
Optical Illusions is one of Perceptual Art which give different perception views.
Here are some examples:


                     The rows of black and white squares are all parallel.
                 The vertical zigzag patterns disrupt our horizontal perception.

There are no gray spots at the corners of the squares.

When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.

Here are some examples:

Basically,perceptual art is about sensory stimulation and conceptual is about ideas & thoughts.
