Which best compares and contrasts visual and performing arts?

both careers use communication skills; however, people involved in the visual arts perform live in front of an audience.

both careers use a high level of creativity; however, the performing arts includes musicians.

both careers speak to an audience; however, people involved in the performing arts speak only to a live audience.

both careers focus on technology; however, the visual arts involves both private and commercial customers.

The correct answer is the third choice. Both visual artists and performing artists use their work to connect with other people, or their audience, but performing artists are always in front of a live audience. Seldom will you watch a painting be created live, but there would be no point to a performance without an audience.

The first choice doesn't make sense, because people involved in visual arts will often create their works privately and then show them to the public later. The second choice doesn't make sense, because a performance might not include musicians, and there could easily be a drawing of musicians, besides. The final choice doesn't make sense, because visual arts and performing arts don't really focus on technology.
