CRAFT• Most crafts have roots in the middle ages, when a
craftsman had a trade – potter, glassblower, woodworker, weaver.
• The word “craft” alludes to expert work done by hand.
• “Craft” and “Art” originally had the same meaning. During the Renaissance, painting, sculpture and architecture were elevated to a different level.
– Thus much of art history before the Renaissance includes craft.
![Page 3: Art apprec ch 12](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f7fedb4c905435d8b4935/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Craft vs Art• Western cultures (Europe & US) have Fine Art
and Craft in separate categories.– Often the dividing line is function.
• Many other cultures around the world attribute artistic meaning to craft objects.– Often fine art objects like sculpture have a spiritual
function.
• There is no definite division between art and craft, nor should there be.– Labels are a convenience for talking about art.

Ceramics• Many kinds of clay
• Terra cotta ∙ Stoneware
• Earthenware ∙ Porcelain
• Greenware – Clay before it is fired• Bisqueware – Clay that has been kiln-fired once.
After clay has been fired its chemical composition changes, it can never be clay again
• Glazeware – Clay that has been glazed, it can be fired multiple times,
not all ceramics are glazed

![Page 7: Art apprec ch 12](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/554f7fedb4c905435d8b4935/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Maria Martinez, BlackwareThis type of blackware was only fired once.
Maria used a red clay.
Before firing she would burnish the entire pot and then paint on a design with a slip (liquid clay.)
The dull area is the slip.
The shinier area is the raw clay that has been burnished.
The ware becomes black by smothering the flames with dry manure partway thru the firing. The smoke reacts with the iron in the clay to turn it black.

Blurring the Boundaries between Art and Craft
• Taking something functional and making it nonfunctional gives it a whole new meaning– Voulkos’s Pottery broke this barrier
• Using craft methods to make Fine Art elevates the notion of craft– Chicago’s The Dinner Party used traditional
“womens work” in multiple ways to create a fine art installation.
