Text box is a box within your document that you can enter text into. The text within the box will have its own formatting separate from the rest of your document. You can move the textbox around the page without dirupting the contents. Wordart is essentially an image made from text that has special effects on the text itself such as coloring, shading, arching.
Normal text is pure text whereas Word art is graphical. That is the biggest difference. Because Word Art is graphical it is possible to do a wide range of things with it like changes to its style, colour, shape, orientation etc. A lot of things can be done with regular text, but not some of those things.
