The scientific definition of Arts & Crafts consists in the knowledge of the form of fine arts and the development of techniques for decorating everyday objects.
None of the directions of spiritual and creative human activity has not acquired such high means of artistic expression as decorative art. We keep in touch with this art without ever noticing it.
Through personal belongings, household items, a person creates a special way of life; in this case, not only the image of a copy of their master's personality, but also of the social environment is on the household items.
Like other forms of art, Art and crafts developed with the help of certain rules and laws that were inherent in a particular historical era. The master created things that are easy to use, which has a reasonableness and utility; and the process of creation itself included the requirements of its time. Only the total number of these characteristics (correctness, appropriateness, utilitarianism, beauty) make it possible to understand the created object as a work of art.
