Yes, you must retain "Plastic", as art has so many different types.

Definitions[edit]

plastic art:
1 : art (as sculpture or bas-relief) characterized by modeling : three-dimensional art
2 : visual art (as painting, sculpture, or film) especially as distinguished from art that is written (as poetry or music) —often used in plural

Therefore, it is safe to say that plastic arts in the narrower sense are those visual arts that involve the use of materials such as clay or plaster, that can be moulded or modulated in some way, often in three dimensions.

Plastic arts in the broader sense include:

Architecture
Ceramics
Collage
Conceptual art
Drawing
Glass art
Land art
Metalworking
Mosaic
Painting
Paper art
The use of plastics within the arts or as an artform itself
Printmaking
Sculpture
Fiber art
Textile arts
Welding
Woodworking
Film
Film Photography
New media art

Asmaa, I guess fine artist will not be good enough as "fine arts" means فنون جمیلۃ, of course "plastic art" can be described as "fine", but using "plastic artist" (as suggested by Noura) will be better.

neutral  Noura Tawil: Painter is رسام, while plastic arts include many other types of art. It could simply be a sculpturer, for example. We can't narrow the original meaning like this.
