But here's the problem with his argument... an artist having skill at making art isn't the art itself, but this doesn't mean what he creates with that skill isn't art. He dire ...[text shortened]... Ergo, robbie is full of beans if he contends it is not art but merely a demonstration of skill.[/b]

I think the arguments and counter arguments about skills and craftsmanship verses art have been interesting and really quite funny to be honest. I fail to see why it can't be both a skill and an art. Skill is a learned trait where as the art is something that comes from within the artist called talent. Which usually can't be taught.
People here have ...[text shortened]... well crafted sand art that was displayed in the OP video? Or were they unimpressed...if so why?
But I do know of people with no artistic talents (me 🙁) but is an artist in the soul! 🙄 😉

Yeah, except for most all of my many Sand Castles on Cape Cod as a boy.
What about music? There's no doubt music is art, and yet, if a piece is not recorded, it is enjoyed and then only exists as a memory, exactly like your sand castles.

"Skill/skilled trade/acquired craftsmanship as opposed to an artistic gift and its discoveries in paint, marble, music, ink, etc. imo" (Page 3)
"... exactly like your sand castles." Suzi, I think you and cash might have liked the seaweed flags atop the four corner towers of those majestic sand castles, built to last until the next high tide, within ten yards of the Atlantic Ocean (which were added by the girl whose family rented the beachfront cottage next to ours). The motes and underground tunnels were mine. lol
