During the 'middle ages' the term "art" was used roughly in the same sense as "craft".

Explanation:

The middle age (the medieval period or the formative period of European culture) started from the 5th century (lasted for 10years) and ended 15th century. It kicked off with the fall of Western Roman Empire and entered Renaissance and the Discovery Age. Trade flourished as a result of rapid development in technology, agriculture and increasing population.

The early middle ages was called the dark ages. Most of the what were named arts were religious craft works of Catholic themes and subjects. The various arts then were sculptures, paintings, metal works, stained glass windows and illuminated manuscripts. They misused craft like various paintings, mansory, carpentry, shoe making and weaving for art.
