Art - expressing one's feeling and vision via a chosen medium.

Craft - doin' the mill for the money thing (Marty Bell, Kinkade.)

I was going to say:
I define art as studio-type arts-- i.e. painting, photography, drawing, sculpting.
I define crafts as things like knitting, or gluing moss on books and tying ribbon around it for decoration (my Mom did this once).
I like art. I don't like crafts.
After reading Beatnikine's definitions, I'm inclined to agree more with those. Although I think maybe I still don't like crafts.
