I found myself looking through old pictures on this blog and trying to decide: Is it Art? Or, is it Craft?
I’d guess at art, although craft is certainly an element of coloring pages.
Or should I have captioned it “Two craftsmen”?
No — I think art is the right choice here.
Is quilting an art or a craft? So much artistry goes into quilted objects, but it’s probably a craft because it’s a functional object and reproducible.
I dabble with watercoloring for a while — obviously never got very proficient. I shudder to call this art.
Made at Laity Lodge. I drew the daffodil, copying from a picture, and carved it, making lots of mistakes. Craft?
Teenage boy activity in church. Definitely art.
Elephants painted in art class. We’re copying Eli Halpin’s style — but still art, I think.
My place-cards. I loved making these. Craft. And Art. I put my mind into these, but also some heart.
There probably isn’t a clear delineation most of the time between art and craft.
The artists exercise craft, and the craftsmen use art.

Really great pictures. Made me smile. Thank you for sharing 🤗
I’d probably just lump the two together instead of separating arts and crafts.
Beautiful by either definition.
