Morphology
The phrase 'dramatic art' is directly compositional: 'dramatic' means related to drama or theatre and 'art' means a practiced creative skill, so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the art or craft of drama/theatre. This follows common adjective+noun combination patterns found in many languages, so the meaning is immediately accessible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Dramatic art comes from the ancient Greek word drama, which meant 'action' or 'doing', and from art, which means skill. So dramatic art means the skill of showing actions on stage, like writing, producing, and performing plays.
