"*One day, these statues will be used to alert people to unusual activity going on around them, so no one can hurt them. They're also really useful for making shopping lists.*"
―Lucy McCallin[src]
A wide variety of **cultural arts** exist in Sol to express or apply creative skill and imagination. Found in all worlds, they range from visual arts, such as painting and sculpture, to sacred dances and rituals, producing diverse concepts to be appreciated primarily for their emotional power or their beauty.

## Visual arts

Monuments are large structures developed to symbolize something of significance, whether it be religious, political, or military might, among a group of people or species. The Statue of Liberty is a colossal sculpture on Liberty Island in New York City, depicting a robed female figure representing Roman goddess *Libertas*, who bears a torch and a tablet upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.[*citation needed*] Needlework is a broad term for the handicrafts of decorative sewing and textile arts. Any craft made with the assistance of a needle for construction can be called needlework. Knitting is a kind of needlework, by which thread or yarn may be turned into cloth or other fine crafts. Needlework is considered a popular pastime. There exists a superpower that can perform this task. A portrait is an artistic work or engraving of a person such as Brooke. ***Girl With a Moonstone Brooch*** was a portrait.[*citation needed*] ***The Will of Obsidian*** was a portrait extant in the Solar System during the Second NoHead War, specifically sometime after the Battle of Yellowstone. Mr. Stupid NoHead hired a painter to paint portraits showing the glorious nature of the NoHead Empire for propaganda purposes. A statue is a three-dimensional carving of something or someone noteworthy. A marble statue was created by Lucy McCallin who was trying to mutate it despite her lack of powers. It was kept on top of her piano. McCallin wanted it to be capable of alerting living individuals to unusual activity going on around them to render them hard to catch off balance, and to automatically make shopping lists when things disappear off the shelves in one's home. She apparently intended to make several of them, but the statue was partially destroyed when the NoHeads attacked the McCallin House.

Art is an extra-curricular subject taught at Superhero School. The class is accessible only to fifth year students and above. The subject is taken in a classroom on the third floor.

The power to manipulate art is depictukinesis. The user can create, shape and manipulate arts and the medias used to create them. The arts are a vast subdivision of culture, composed of many endeavors/artforms united by their employment of the human creative impulse. These include visual arts, or the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpting, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Palletakinesis is a variation of this superpower. Artistic Weaponry is generally accepted as a technique of depictukinesis.
