An art product is an object we admire strictly for its beauty or because it inspires an emotional reaction in us (perhaps bliss, or perhaps disgust). In contrast, we admire a craft product because of the beauty with which it performs some function (e.g., a ceramic ashtray or hand – carved fishing lures). A piece of art is original, subtle, and valuable, and typically we associate it with society’s elite (see Chapter 12). A craft tends to follow a formula that permits rapid production.
