Art vs Crafts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw3YAlvdYRQ
Start by checking out this video first . . . What the heck is the difference between a craft show and Art Basel (coolest art show ever and really want to attend - Miami here I come)? Are they the same thing? Are art shows and galleries calling artwork "art" so they can make a massive profit and overcharge patrons? Are craft shows just "country-ish" art shows held outdoors with lower price tags? I found this topic to be incredibly interesting to me mainly for one reason. My in-laws. My mother in law use to be a crafter. In fact their whole family use to do partake in craft season. Oh yes kids, their is an actual craft season. They would work endlessly making cute decorations for your home and sell them at a reasonable price to the public. They never did it to make the big bucks but solely because they enjoyed the atmosphere, building process, working with their hands. Now sometimes the crafts were actually pretty cool and took a great deal of skills and time and others well . . . I should be nice and not say. I even have a few as holiday decorations at my house. Either way, is this a form of art? I consider myself and artist but should I also consider them artists too?
