Of course, what is art is left to everyone's guess and I'm trying to not enter 
this debate… :-)

Maybe a way out is Wikipedia's suggestion that the term "craft" could be used 
instead of "art": " Often, if the skill is being used in a common or practical 
way, people will consider it a craft instead of art." [1] And the Wikipedia 
article on Portuguese pavement also tends to generally qualify it as craft, and 
only as art when it's particularly nice.

However, it's my reading of the OSM Wiki that the tag "craft" denotes the place 
where the craft is *created* and not where it's *deployed*.

Anyway, adding precision with subtype tags looks a good option because it 
captures a factual element visible on the ground and leaves the discussion 
whether it's art or not is outside OSM.

Maybe some people will start a debate about the "Portuguese" qualifier, but 
that's another story… :-)
