Are they same?

(b) Craft class
  

Top answer

No, art and crafts are different activites (although sometimes related). An art class would be subjects such as drawing and painting, possibly sculpture and other 'art' work. Crafts are basically 'making stuff' so covers a lot of different activities, for example woodturning, glass painting, sewing.
