Question

Crafts appear to have been segregated from the artistic disciplines of painting and sculpture, even though many of the materials used are exactly the same. Why do you think that traditional craft media, such a ceramics, textiles, wood, and metal, have been segregated from other artistic disciplines? Do these differences in classification imply differences in value?

Answer 1

Answer:

Crafts have been misvalued by most of arts' critics because society has taken the path of techonology improvement as a means for development, progress, and creativity. This segregation is responsible for misplacing crafts and other traditional arts as not much valuable as other contemporary art forms that is developing with technology help, such as restored painting and 3D printing sculptures.

Explanation:

It is important to point out that crafts are a cultural asset of traditions, roots, habits, ideas, events, history, and more. As people have developed and improved technology as far as they can, others haven't paid attention to developments made in crafts' art, such as the case for African American poems shared by a lot of black women around the world through the use of dishcloth and/or towels until nowadays. That is the main reason for crafts to be misvalued and sometimes even forgotten, in the meaning of people getting to use technology as the end point of knowledge and artistic creativity. This is why society has misplaced contemporary crafts' art in terms of cultural value, economic input and networking interests.
