CRAFT OR ART: PICK ONE

Posted by: Benjamin Onuorah

All art contains elements of craft.
All crafts contain elements art.
You may describe craft as the technical process of creativity.
You may define art as the intellectual and imaginative aspect of creativity.
If the craft or technical content outweighs the intellectual conceptualization, the finished work looks immediately showy but it is lacking in depth.
If the intellectual aspect is bereft of adequate technical proficiency, the finished work looks unfinished and uninviting.
When the intellectual input and the technical process find a balance in a work of art, the result elevates both the artist and the audience.
The artist is the wonderworker that doctors and heals the heart and head of the community.
A community that bans, cuts, or underrates art will need to train more psychiatrists to medicate the people with drugs, as the society succumbs to mass mental health impairments.
Make and promote more art, and you need less soldiers and police.
Forbid art, and you need to invest in war arsenal and massive policing.

Array is a special variable, which can hold more than one value at a time. This is a more convenience way to handle a collection of defined data and we often use a loop to access array data.

Introduction to CSS

Course: Styling (Beautify) Website
Number of topics: 2
Category: Programming
One of the key principles of web development is the separation of content (HTML) and presentation (CSS). HTML defines the structure and content of a web page, while CSS is responsible for its visual style.

Selectors and Declarations: CSS uses selectors to target HTML elements and declarations to define the styles for those elements. A declaration consists of a property (e.g., color, font-size) and a value (e.g., blue, 16px).

CSS Syntax: A basic CSS rule looks like this:


selector {
    property: value;
}

h1 {
    color: green;
}
