'art' comes from 'artem' which means 'skill', which is the root of 'artificial' (https://www.etymonline.com/word/art and https://www.etymonline.com/word/artificial)

your teacher was wrong

i had a friend who didnt get credit for his design work because he used photoshop instead of using pen and paper for similar reason, i still find it amazing that a teacher would say such a thing

His teacher was wrong but "argument from etymology" is surely a fallacy.

Especially as I grew up in Germany where “Kunst” has different origins.
