Making your own household goods. Think about it. All of our historic families at some point had to grow their own plants/livestock, make their own house/furniture, and sew their own clothes. Can you make butter? Can you make socks? The biggest lost art is the art of being self sufficient.

I'd hate to be paradoic, (is that the word, as in having to do with paradoxes?) but I feel that art itself is a lost art.
I quote a famous song, "We're not tryin' to make art...we're making our livin'!" Well, now my friend, you are a millionaire, and you have made a "living"...will you now quit? PLEASE? For us Zeppelin fans?
I am somewhat of a musician myself and I am soon attending college, specializing in the clarinet. These words describe the falseness of present day music. Music pre-Nirvana mostly had a point and a theme, but now it is a business.
No wonder why the music industry is not making money anymore, because people don't want to listen to greedy millionaires play lame riffs and sing lame lyrics. Groups like Zeppelin did not play to make money, they were expressing musical talent, and a message was always there.

One could say that pyramid-building is a lost art. There are many questions about how the Egyptians managed to construct such large and architectually perfect structures with the technology of the time.

lol...I feel so dumb. I read your question as 'What's an example of a Lost Ark' as in Raiders of the Lost Ark and I was really confused by everyone's answers. heheheh
Anyway, I know it isn't much of an art, but no one really cares anymore. In USA, we're all about getting things done as easliy and fast as possible. Not only do we have fast food, we have to have our order in 30 seconds or less. No one appreciates little things like spring blooms, crisp fall winds and color changes, trees...I know, I probably sound like a nature-freak, but I really miss stuff like that...

when you lost something that you created, and you feel something in you lost
I guess that's a lost of art. Example you created love through person and that person misunderstood the love of art. We'll i guess

Manners in the mainstream is a lost art.

Writing is a dying art. I don't know that it's entirely lost yet.

As in something not regularly practiced, or completely gone altogether?
Practiced by very few - well, my job - hand millinery.
Also handsetting type for printing - at least here in the U.S. we've met people from Mexico who still print their local paper that way.
Hand tanning hides.
wheelwrights
Coopers
I'm sure I could think up more with time...

Patience. Undertaking truth. Staying the course on commitment in principle, thereby action.
