Sure, in short: I think (visual) art is distinguished by the artist showing a different perspective on reality or a concept, as opposed to a craftsman drawing something hyper realistic.

Every adult human knows what a human looks like from a human perspective.

Abstract art can show the human from a *different* perspective, it has the ability to communicate things that would otherwise not be possible.

A craft on the other hand is the ability to recreate what everyone else already knows and sees in daily life.

I should note by saying this that I don't mean a craft is less work than art or less respectable, but I do divide the two by this criterium.
