Have you ever taken a good look at a public garbage can in Paris, a paving stone in Rio de Janeiro, or a doorway in Dublin? Trust me -- the man or woman responsible for making those utilitarian objects was creating art.

About This Quote

Did you know that there is a difference between art and craftsmanship? Craftsmanship is working with your hands and making something. Art is the result of artistry. Artistry, also known as talent, creativity, or skill, is the ability to create or create something that doesn’t necessarily look like an object that can be made with your hands. For example, a sculptor could spend months creating a sculpture of a famous person such as Michelangelo’s David. Or, he may take those same tools and time to make a sculpture of Abraham Lincoln.
