Likewise x2. Unless someone can think of a showstopping reason why not, I'll update the wiki proposal and proceed with this design...

But unfortunately the 4th one, "art" itself is missing a high level placement under CreativeWork/ as well... where Painting and Sculpture could be placed downstairs on the schema...but I guess that's ok.  And the 5th one, "gestures" (which would include Sign Language or simple Neanderthal hand poking) is interesting in itself if it ever appeared on the web. But those would probably take the video form)  By the way, Music as a human expression could be considered mapped under CreativeWork/audio.
