In that context, it distinguishes Fine Art from "Arts", as in what one studies to get a Bachelor of Arts. Of course, the problem is, in the context of outside of academia, one rarely thinks of history, geography, philosphy and econmics as "arts", so how far does it BFA vs. BA get us in the long run? <g> frank (who has a B.A., but still doesn't know anything about "art" <LOL>) -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
