  1. Your first point is false. Art doesn't necessarily means useless, just that having some practicality declassify the creation. For example, there are plenty of buildings that have useless decorations, but the architecture has to be somehow practical. Moreover, the word art by himself originally described all forms of mastering and aesthetic of techniques, including all sorts of practical things like martial arts. And again nowadays artists have to master their fundamental techniques before being able to create pieces of art.

  2. good for you but that doesn't negate how "decorative art" is considered lower deep inside our legislations. The fundamental principle of fine art is serving no practical purpose, as well as being unique creations without any other exact copy production. This categorization can change a lot of things for creators and customers, like taxes, subventions or even the ability to enter some markets.
