Nice paintings, drawings, music, sculptures, hairstyles, buildings, houses, castles for sure...just about anything creative the mind can conceive, tastefully. But then, "taste" is also in the eye of the beholder.

Art, design, and craftsmanship are three different things. Craftsmanship is a physical skill with a media. For example, a portrait painter who can paint as realistically as a photograph shows great craftsmanship. Design is the concept of ascetics- the ability to combine shape and color in a way that is pleasing to the eye. Art has meaning. Art is designed to convey some kind of message. It makes a statement about society, about politics, about emotion- it might only make a statement about the artist his/herself. Ideally, a single work should have all three- it should demonstrate skill, it should have balance and composition, and it should convey a message. Craftsmanship and Design without meaning is not art- it's something you buy at Sears to hang over the sofa. One does not study something that has no meaning, one does not spend hours admiring something with no depth.
