craft

Examples of craft in the following topics:

• Glass

  • As a studio craft, glass as a medium tends to be used to make decorative rather than solely functional pieces.
  • Crafts are skills involving practical arts, and may refer to a trade or a particular art form.
  • Glass as a craft material lends itself to studio craft, a craft methodology in which objects are created for aesthetic rather than practical purposes alone.
  • In this way, studio craft differs from traditional craft, which generally refers to objects made out of necessity or for ceremonial use.
  • While this differentiation links studio craft to studio art in some ways, simplifying craft theory as synonymous with art theory can be problematic.

• Characteristics of Specific Substitution Reactions

  • The Friedel-Crafts acylation reagent is normally composed of an acyl halide or anhydride mixed with a Lewis acid catalyst such as AlCl3.
  • Some examples of Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions are shown in the following diagram.
  • Since the nitro group is a powerful deactivating substituent, Friedel-Crafts acylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.
  • Friedel-Crafts alkylation, on the other hand, introduces an activating substituent (an alkyl group), so more than one substitution may take place.
  • Additional examples of Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions are shown in the following diagram.

• Crafts in the Edo Period

  • Of the many and varied traditional handicrafts of Japan, and one closely associated with the Edo period (1600–1868), is the ancient craft of temari.
  • Temari means "handball" in Japanese, and it is a folk craft born in ancient Japan from the desire to amuse and entertain children with a toy handball.
  • Over the years and region by region, the women of Japan explored the craft and improved it.
  • Another craft that developed during the Edo period, while Japan was closed to most international trade, was doll-making.
  • Another Edo period craft that reflected contemporary Japan's interest in electrical phenomena and mechanical sciences was the development of wadokei, or Japanese clockwatches.

• Training Artists

  • For many years, craftsmen and artists have formed associations, guilds, and groups in order to preserve and perpetuate their various crafts.
  • In many cultures today, apprenticing, or studying with an established artist, is still the method by which artists learn their crafts.
  • Outside of the academic system, many artists learn their craft through personal practice.
