Chapter 12 Crafts

Craft and Art originally shared the same meaning and I can see why I found some of

these crafts to be truly breath taking from works made from clay to very beautiful

Tapestry's all the way to works from Metal and Wood I found them all to be amazing

in their own rite. With all the different styles to choose from it was very hard to

come up with my 2 sets of artists to compare but I did so here goes 1st pick was

Susan Ewing's Winged pitcher and sugar container 1991 made from Sterling silver and

24K vermeil with beautiful inlay work and very cool lines and it very different

shape it to me would compare to any of the sculpture's from the last chapter I

really liked this work a lot. I compared it to Filippo and Francesco's Burgonet of

of Charles made in 1545 and made from Steel and Gold this piece also had great

inlay work and beautiful lines with such deep detail though out the entire work

far more detail then the other piece both works had great lines and mixtures of

metals but it is in the details that these two works differ I really enjoyed both

of them but if I had to pick just one it would be the second one because of it's

amazing detail. Next was Maria and Julian Martinez's Jar c. 1939 to Magdalene

Odundo's Vessel 2000 both are interesting to look at but I must say this pick was

very easy for me I enjoyed the Jar c. much more then the Vessel piece it was more

pleasing to the eye with great inlay work and with a wonderful shape what I did

enjoy from the Vessel was it's rare feel it had it just was so interesting to me.

so what I learned this chapter was art is also in our every day life things such as

a chair or a rug can be and is sometimes great art.
