Question

What is the action involved in making art known as? Ex: Painting, Sculpting, etc.

Answer 1

The simplest terms are "creating" or "making art" (noun: "creation"). More specific/common phrases are "art‑making" or "artistic creation." In professional/critical contexts you might see "artistic practice" or "the creative process."

(Techniques/media names — painting, sculpting, printmaking, drawing, photography, performance, etc. — describe particular forms of art‑making.)
