Oridnary art means something like : all are not made by Mozart. After all, art is rarely made by Mozart-like people- essentially there aren't any people like that. But while geniuses may get made once a century or so, good art gets made all the time. Making art is a common and intimately human activity, filled with all the perils (and rewards) that accompany any worthwhile effort. The difficulities artmakers face are not remote and heroic, but universal and familiar.
