Art and craft, or the plural “arts and crafts” is a catchall phrase for creative practices that fall into the category of either art or craft. Anything that can be considered decorative design or handicraft falls under the umbrella of art and craft.
What is Art?
Art is an expression and application of imagination and creative skill. There are seven general forms of art.
The creative visual arts are traditionally painting, sculpture, photography, or drawing.
Modern and contemporary art styles aim to create works with emotional impact that express their vision, ideas, or feelings.
Visual art forms use technical proficiency and creativity to translate ideas and emotional power into a visual format.
What is Craft?
A craft or trade is traditionally a hobby or an occupation that requires skilled workers to produce an item. Crafts can include weaving, carving, pottery, embroidery, macrame, beading, sewing, quilting, etc.
Crafts were made by a crafts person; a title applied to people who were occupied in the small-scale production or maintenance of goods. Craft may also be referred to as “handicraft,” with their hand-made nature distinguishing them from other mass-made, readily available products.
Types of Arts and Crafts
Crafting includes a variety of art forms, from sculpture and metalwork to knitting and printing. These crafts can all be divided into five basic types based on their form and purpose: textile, decorative, paper, functional, and fashion crafts.
