I strongly think it is, as in my free time i animate and claymate, and it is very hard work and you need to be a quick artist, and you can't really be "sketchy" at all. (By sketchy i mean you have to know where your line is going and not go over it more than once or twice.) you also can't really be a perfectionist, because in animation the longer the movie goes the less detailed the frames usually are. (some are EXTREMELY detailed, i am not saying they arn't, but they tend to be shorter.)
Claymation occupies an interesting middle ground between puppetry and animation. Also it could not exist without photography so it is an ar tform that is a product of a totally separate technology.
Claymation/animation is art. Absolutely. And don't let anyone tell you that it isn't.
