Art and craft encompass a wide range of creative activities that involve making things by a hand or using specific tools and techniques. While art often focuses more on self-expression and esthetics, craft tends to emphasize skilled workmanship and traditional techniques. Both art and craft can be incredibly fulfilling and therapeutic, allowing individuals to express their creativity, hone their skills, and create something unique and meaningful.
