  I generally consider art to be an expression of ideas. A craft is an expression of skill.
What about artforms that might not necessarily express an idea as such, but instead try to instil a mood or feeling?

A normal viewer will look at, say, a David Lynch film and feel a sense of unease. Someone with a deeper interest in film will feel that sense of unease and know the tricks David Lynch uses to achieve that effect.
