I see art as making one of a kind abstract inquiries into the deep meaning of life and craft is making a useful tangible product not particularly meaningful but well made -- hopefully. One needs craft for good art and one likes to have an artistic aspect to craft.Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793157040837403087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366724323258645916.post-64364287112555556172009-06-15T05:35:42.904-06:002009-06-15T05:35:42.904-06:00An interesting question....

I never gave any thought to why I think that, though. It has something to do with the utility of yarn, I think. I agree with Mary Jane; craft makes useful items beautiful, and art is not about mundane usefulness, but about what it does for the inner person.Nicolehttp://www.nicelady.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366724323258645916.post-20603632330683849302009-05-29T09:30:04.065-06:002009-05-29T09:30:04.065-06:00Same ball of wax...

My skill (craftwomanship) and creativity (artistry) go together to produce an expression of myself that hopefully is appreciated by others.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17323287569898366727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366724323258645916.post-6549206395847119262009-05-07T10:30:00.000-06:002009-05-07T10:30:00.000-06:00Great point that you can be/create both.

I also thought right off that money was involved, and skill. <br /><br />Thanks for picking this "thoughtful" one - was wondering what others felt about this.storybeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401051545867204851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366724323258645916.post-7115727718767454462009-05-06T21:25:00.000-06:002009-05-06T21:25:00.000-06:00an excellent, well-thought out, intelligent post!
...an excellent, well-thought out, intelligent post!<br />My only contention is with "Craft’s starting point is void of internal emotional expression." The assumption is that craft is motivated by an external practicality (art is impractical?), and because of that no emotion is involved whatsoever. I believe this can be true, but is not always true, and therefore not a point of distinction.Splendid Little Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732090154244573323noreply@blogger.com
