It's interesting to think that centuries ago this was considered high art, given the difficulty in crafting these types of ceramic tiles.

The interesting thing about all this is how they did it.
In the old days, it was more difficult and therefore expensive to create. Today, technology has advanced, so the process has been streamlined. There's so much we can learn from antiquity.
Today everything is easier and more practical.
True!
I can see it being considered that way again in a quite close future, when many manual tasks will be performed by robots.
We can now do it at industrial scale and maybe even 3d print similar patterns. But long ago, it was a laborious and painstaking process, so maybe we placed a bigger value on it.
Ok.
I guess there are craftsmen and/or artists who still create that kind of pieces the "old way", so that the energy, time and love they insufflate in them would make us see it as art - even if the final result looks the same when it comes from a 3D printer 🙃. I know it's related to a debate about: "Does art exist without human body & mind involvement in the creative process?"
Great points and great question.
"Does art exist without human body & mind involvement in the creative process?"
I've seen videos of cats, dogs, and elephants painting, so can this be considered art? 🐶 😺 🐘 🎨
It's still art... Amazing. Now we have AI so this is far more impressive
I think they're both impressive in their own way. Our ancestors painted some really "bad" art in cave walls because they didn't have the modern painting tools of brush and colors such as those used in the Renaissance, as an example, but each is impressive in it's own right .
