Art Lady

 My crafts page is a collection of miscellaneous craft lesson plans. I discuss the difference between Fine Art and Craft with my students, though in contemporary times the definition is more blurred than it has been traditionally upheld. Fine Art is aesthetic in nature – like a pretty picture to hang on the wall. Crafts are functional, like a ceramic coffee cup or the rug on the floor that keeps your toes warm. I hope the lesson plans and pages below are useful to the viewer!
