Everything about Mechanic Arts totally explained
Mechanic arts is an obsolete and archaic term. In the 19th century, it referred to fields, some of which are now known as
engineering. It was apparently an attempt to distinguish these fields from creative and artistic endeavors like the
performing arts and the
fine arts which were for the upper class of the time and the intelligentsia. It were also considered practical fields for those that didn't come from good families. A related phrase, "
useful arts," probably encompassed the mechanic arts as well as craftsmanship in general.
The most famous usage of "mechanic arts" (and the one in which it's most commonly encountered today) is in the
Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act.
In the medieval period, the Seven Mechanical Arts were intended as a complement to the
Seven Liberal Arts, and consisted of
weaving,
blacksmithing, war, navigation, agriculture, hunting, medicine, and the ars theatrica.
