Is ART & CRAFT same?

Art vs Craft

Most people do not see any difference between art and craft as they are both considered to be forms of
creativity. Let’s consider how art and craft differ.

Art is a form of work that is the expression of emotions. Craft is a form of work, which results in a
tangible output, for example, moulding and carving.

Art is often described as unstructured and open ended. It has no limitations of expression, just like in
painting. Craft on the other hand is structured, which means that it has a certain form that is visible.
While Craft can be quantified, this is more difficult to do with art. Â Another thing that can be seen is
that one can create duplicate craft forms, which is not possible with art. It can also be seen that art
forms move people on an emotional level whereas crafts attract people. For example, a piece of
painting can create emotions in a person whereas a piece of jewellery or pottery can be an attraction.
Unlike craft, art is known to come out of the heart and soul. Crafts come out of the mind and need
considerable practise to come out with world-class forms.

Art is a result of a person’s innate talents whereas skill in craft can be acquired with experience. Craft
forms can be called skilled forms. In craft, more practical thought is needed whereas in Art, it is the
emotions that make a perfect creation. Art is more related to aesthe
A craftsman will have an idea about what he wants to actually make. In art, it is the emotions that flow
out, whereas in craft, no emotion is involved.

Pottery, metal works, glass works and jewellery are some examples of craft works. Painting,
architecture and sculpture are examples of art forms.

Summary

Art is a form of work that expresses emotions and expressions. Craft is a form of work, which has a
physical form just like in moulding and carving.
While Craft is quantified, Art seldom is.
One can create duplicate craft forms, which is not possible with art.
Art forms move people emotionally, whereas crafts attract people.

Art Display/Exhibition - Karnataka Chitrakal Parishat - 2015

Hello Everyone,

This blog is about the arts exhibition held by Karnatak Chitrakala Parishat (a government body) in Bangalore, which encourages the artists from every corner in India. There were more than 1000 artists participated and I made sure to visit the event for the whole day. This was held on 04-Jan-2015 and it was crowded with art lovers.

I liked different types of art displayed and learned more buyers' likings and interests. Many of them were looking for abstract or even impressionist paintings. It was very colorful but some of the important things that i would like to point out here.

As a fine art artist, one should have a proper pricing strategy for the paintings displayed and should be able to explain more on the same. One other important thing i noticed is that nearly 99% of them had no idea about self-promotion. It just felt like, they are all waiting for some magic to happen. Just had no idea about the business part of it. There are so many topics discussed in art world including pricing strategies, self promotion, building relationships etc.

I was surprised to hear from some artists, that they don't even know the exact size of the canvas/painting that they painted. At the end of the day, i felt that, in this era of technology, when people don't make use of needed tools, i would simply assume that they are struggling more. Technology is here to help us to take our efforts to the next level.

Any ways, it was a good event that government and other sponsors are promoting artists around the country.
