I have a friend who paints. She once commented to me that I must not like Art, as my walls are not loaded with paintings. She did not see my original sculpted vignettes as Art. Nor my carved wood, my handmade-handknapped arrows, my baskets, my quilts, my needlework samplers, my gourdfolk, nor my gorgeous buttons as Art. I find this a common opinion among many painters.
The iron buffalo in my avatar was made my son. I consider it Art and he is a Craftsman.
Can anyone deny the genius of color and construction of a quilt to be Art?
I consider myself strictly a crafter. If I do create something once in a while a little special, I might classify it as art, but basically I consider myself a crafter.
What do you consider Art? Are Crafts a type of Art?
