Answer to Question 1

Responses will vary depending on definitions. Possible connotations are craft as a skill and craft as a process.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary depending on artwork selection. Mara and Julian Martnez's jar is an example of the coil method of pottery made by the native people in the American Southwest. During the 20th century, the couple revived and popularized the tradition of fine pottery making among the Pueblo people. The Tree of Jesse is an example of a special branch of glasswork, stained glass, a technique used for windows. In the religious philosophy that guided the building of the great cathedrals of the 12th and 13th centuries in Europe, light was viewed as a spiritually transforming substance. Windows contained colorful glass mosaics of didactic biblical pictures, illuminating the interiors and creating a spiritual ambience.
