Given below the difference between BFA and BA in Fine Arts:

BFA BA 
BFA focuses more on practical training and studio work in art and design. It focuses more on practical training and hands-on work in areas like painting, sculpture, animation, and design. It helps students develop their artistic skills through studio work and creating art. BA is more theory-based, including history and critical analysis of art. BA in Fine Arts, on the other hand, is more theory-based. It includes studying the history of art, its critical analysis, and the cultural aspects of art, with less emphasis on practical creation.
