I don't think CSS has anything to do with art, you usually have the design done already, you just need to put it together in a way that browsers can read, so it's just good ol' programming. Thing is that it's very easy to do a little things and tweaks in css, copy & paste snippets, so people jump to conclusions about css being easy - but then you discover that to really master css it requires a lot of lateral thinking and being able to look at the design and "see the matrix" behind it. It's like trying to figure out haskell and you come from C, you need some time for your brain to rewire how you think of problems. IMHO emphasis should be especially at a lot of learning by doing it, because experience is everything with css. So just give yourself some time, work on it and you'll figure it out...
