Difference between art and craft

The process of making art and the process of making crafts are related, but different activities. Painting a picture and making a birdhouse show us that arts and crafts are really quite different. While art is an open-ended and “unstructured” activity, crafts are goal oriented and “structured.”In the above examples, painting is an art activity and making birdhouse is a craft activity. A good arts and crafts program provides both arts and crafts activities, and allows children to explore and learn both.
