crafts and art forms

Crafts and art forms are creative activities that express human imagination and skill. Crafts typically involve making functional or decorative objects through techniques like weaving, pottery, woodworking, or quilting, often emphasizing craftsmanship and tradition. Art forms encompass a broader range of visual, auditory, or performative expressions—such as painting, sculpture, dance, music, and theater—focused on conveying ideas, emotions, or aesthetics. While crafts are often practical and rooted in tradition, art tends to prioritize innovative expression and conceptual exploration. Both enrich culture, reveal personal and collective identity, and provide meaningful ways for individuals to communicate and connect.
