Morphology
The meaning 'a particular type or style of artistic expression' is directly and compositionally derived from 'art' (artistic expression) + 'form' (a way or type), so the phrase transparently denotes a type of art. This noun+noun combination is cross-linguistically common and follows a standard English compositional pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the meaning.
Etymology
Art form comes from the simple image of art as creative work and form as the shape or way that work is made. Because 'form' has long meant a 'type' or 'style', art form means a particular kind of art, like music, painting, or dance.
