This is another of a series of Jigsaw Puzzles highlighting the Longreach Local Government Area.
But more than just a Jigsaw!
Life is a puzzle. Make sense - solve the puzzle!
Arts and crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things with one's own hands and skill.
Most crafts require a combination of skill, speed, and patience, but they can also be learnt on a more basic level by virtually anyone. Many community centres and schools run evening or day classes and workshops offering to teach basic craft skills in a short period of time.
The activities held within the Longreach Arts and Crafts Centre certainly reflect this view of Crafts.
On the other hand there are the Arts - usually considered to be Painting, Sculpture, Literature, Architecture, Theater, Film, and Music.
While the art refers to the way of doing or the application of human creative skill typically in visual form, the arts are the various practices formed of human creativity and imagination. In Music, this is something which is achieved through practice, practice, practice. But it goes well beyond this.
Beethoven probably summed it all up when he said: Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets.
Arts and Crafts are the basis of human society. Let the SYMPHONY begin!
