Needs Help: Art Tropes

Some of the Art tropes are not tropes at all. I could make a topic for every single one of them, but I can barely open one, whenever I try, it says it's over 400 thread limit.

Movements:

• Art Deco — Really a Useful Notes?
• Art Nouveau— Really a Useful Notes?
• Dada— Really a Useful Notes?
• Surrealism— Really a Useful Notes?

If there are more movements added, should they be Useful Notes as well?

Tropes:

• Art— index on Art Useful Notes?
• Art Evolution —When I see the Playing With page [1] it looks like it's for In-Universe examples. Most if not all the examples are about how a comic book or manga etc. changed style through time. I haven't gone through all examples though.
• Concept Art —Useful Notes? or merge with Concept Art Gallery ?
• Concept Art Gallery —see above
• Fan Art — ...Is this a trope? If it is, does it need examples?
• Fonts —exactly where's supposed to be
• It's Popular, Now It Sucks! - Is it me or it's not supposed to be on this index?

Genres and movements of fine art are definitely tropes, not useful notes.

Agree. It would be like moving Fantasy to Useful Notes.Fantasy

Can you give an example where they are used as tropes?

Fantasy isn't a trope either. It is a genre.

According to post 2, genre is a trope.

Tropes are defined as storytelling conventions. I am pretty sure "genre" falls under that definition, and not the Useful Notes one, which are defined as:

1. To debunk common media stereotypes.
2. To help you understand some media better.
3. To educate, inform, and sometimes entertain.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

A genre's more of a collection of tropes though, right? A work belongs in X genre if it uses many of the following n tropes.

(Not that it matters... genres go on main, and you can link to them as you would any trope, and any index on Art should list Art genres.)

As things are right now, genres go on the main namespace are their page type is "trope". For all effective purposes, we seem to treat them as tropes.

Genres are tropes. Locking this.
