Art and craft are two terms which are often used interchangeably. Just a thin line of difference can be drawn between the two terms. Firstly, Art is simply an expression of emotion, imagination, or human creative skills in a visual form either by sculpture or painting, producing works for the appreciation of their emotional power or beauty. Unlike Art, the craft is an activity involving hand making skills. Lot’s of people do not see any differences between the two terms because both are part and forms of creativity.

Art has no limit of expression (just like in a painting), which makes it unstructured and open-ended. On the other hands, the craft is structured because it must have some specific forms of visibility. Art is the initiative talents of a person, whereas craft skills can be acquired by learning and also from gained experience. A craft man must have an idea of what he wants to make, but in Art, it is emotions that flow. Metalworks, pottery, glass work, and many others are examples of craft works, while painting, sculpture, architecture, etc. are examples and forms of Art.
