You're not British, right?

The National Masonry Academy in the UK literally has a course on "fine art bricklaying".

Bricklaying is absolutely art, and the wall staying up for any period of time is actually a consequence of it.

I think coding is art; nothing I've ever done with coding is anywhere near as artistic as the Ouse Valley Viaduct.

People who think bricklaying cannot be art simply haven't been around enough old brick buildings.
