Art & Craft

Art is primarily about self-expression, creativity, and aesthetic value. The focus is often on the emotional, intellectual, or symbolic message that the artwork conveys. Art can be abstract or representational and is usually seen as a way of exploring or expressing an artist’s vision.

Craft refers to the creation of objects that are usually practical but can also be aesthetically pleasing. It often involves skilled work and mastery of particular techniques. Unlike fine art, which focuses on self-expression and individualism, craft often has a focus on utility, tradition, or decoration.

Despite these distinctions, the line between art and craft can be fluid, and many artists today blend the two categories in their work. Both art and craft have rich traditions, and both offer a way to explore creativity, learn new skills, and produce meaningful objects.
