An interesting concept

TheCatWoman

Art is the craft of being human.

I really relate to this, but others don't as they seem to see art and craft as two very different things with art being more lofty than craft, which is mearly the ability to do something competantly. For me it goes to the heart of what art is, it is the crafting of non verbal means of sharing a concept, although I do think words can be art too, a beautifully crafted sentence is a thing of beauty.

What do you all think?

  • Being human includes love, care, construction, communication, etc. and is more than art.

    Art is something that means something to you. A painting, photo, sculpture or creation that is more than the sum of its parts. I believe it is considered to provoke or capture some emotion, but I think it is more that it captures your interest. i am not sure if interest is an emotion. I think it also involves some expenditure of excess effort or care 

    I think a craft is about creating something with care. I think it has to be more than just utilitarian. It includes more than just art.

    Art is about creating something impractical that invites disproportionate interest. What that interest is or means is hard to define.
