> Do "best practices" apply to art? Yes, at least partially. We have known solutions for many things - one can buy paper/paint/pencils, there is some standard toolbox how to sculpt marble, how to fire clay, how to draw a realistic picture... Some art pieces are done by ignoring parts of that and doing something new but basically all art is using at least some.
