When is something a craft and when it something art? I sometimes have trouble separating this out in my mind. I guess I feel that a handicraft would produce something usable? Is that a good definition? February 1, 2011 at 5:13 pm LinabeanParticipantWell, that’s how I have always defined it. Although I also hold the belief that even practical, usable, ordinary things that are made by hand are also an “art”. February 1, 2011 at 6:05 pm csmammaParticipantI agree with Linabean & think the two can be interchangeable. On SCM’s Handicrafts and Life Skills list, some could clearly be defined as Art.http://simplycharlottemason.com/timesavers/handicrafts/Viewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)The topic ‘Difference between handicraft and art project?’ is closed to new replies.
