Crafts
Functional arts, expert work, done by “hand”—Unique, one of a kind, hand made, generally more expensive
We live in a society of mass production and disposal goods, crafts used to be a one of a kind thing.
Skill: 0 Simple, “everyone” can do it.
Very broad spectrum of objectives and skill levels
What separates crafts from art?
Fine art is the aesthetics, fine art is philosophical—Crafts have usefulness or utility, has a function
Crafts are useful, SOMETIMES work of art
Crafting is not less than fine art, it is equal, if someone puts enough time and passion into something, it becomes a work of art.
