ART v’s CRAFT

I’m about to say something that will surely create some debate.
For the sake of brevity I will, from this point on, refer to all those people who become part of this project because of their skills in the field of choise as ‘artists’. What they produce will be referred to as ‘art’. The skills they have and the processes they use is their ‘craft’.
I am not endeavouring to re-define these terms, only to use them in a consistent and well defined manner. My usage may not fit with everyone, but as this project unfolds it will become more evident and apparent as to my reasoning and motives.
Please bear with me.
