Yes. The arts acts as an umbrella for many modes of art and each of these
has many different subsets. Within the modes and the subsets there must be
a common language or the artists would not be able to communicate. If an
artists studies a discipline she or he needs to use a specific language.
On a broader scale, across the domains of the arts, the language is
understood, regardless of using different nouns. For example, filmmakers
communicating with actors = two disciplines of art but working together.
Another example is a computer graphics designer and an animator. Both
artists studied different areas of the arts, but they work together and
share a common vocabulary.
