Site name:
Arts & Crafts
Description:
Questions and answers about creating arts and craft
Topics
Topics covered by this site would include:
- Questions concerning painting, drawing, knitting, crocheting, sewing, wood working, metal working, ...
- Digital art (as long as the question is focused about the creative aspect; for problems with software and how to use it, we already have powerusers and linux systems)
- Tool usage, upkeep and selection
- Material selection and usage
- Asking for clarification of a specific tutorial step ("why isn't this working?" or "what do these instructions mean?")
- Attributes of different media and how they interact
- Own work critiques in a separate category ("I created this logo, how can I improve it?" or "Here's my watercolor painting of my cat sleeping on the sofa. How can I make the composition more interesting?")
Exclusions
- Asking for inspiration ("What craft can I do with ...?").
- Broad questions like "where do I start", or requesting a tutorial for a larger project.
- Discussion or critique of other people's works
- Product and service recommendations ("Where can I get [product]?" or "Where can I find someone who does [service] in [area]?").
- Art history and art appreciation related questions.
- Identification of artists and artworks.
Example questions
See the arts & crafts tag in the incubator Q/A where there are several example questions. Please answer those questions or ask additional example questions.

Overlap
- potential overlap with the home improvement proposal, e.g. in the areas of wood- and metal working
- for digital art there might be a small overlap with powerusers and linux systems, but the focus here on the creative aspect should keep the overlap minimal
- digital arts might have some overlap with the photography community
