Design vs Art?

JQL - You are easily fooled

DOD3R

Hi guys,
Recently I stumbled upon this TED talk about beauty. (https://www.ted.com/talks/denis_dutton_a_darwinian_theory_of_beauty)
I found it quite eye-opening and helped me understand and communicate with my clients. Especially to those I found difficult to relate to.
Interesting article on the design blog, thanks for sharing it.
I am finding a lot of inspiration in graphic design lately. Its just beautiful, how Sketchucation community works.

regards,
T.

You are the one being fooled by your own beliefs. You believe you're not skilled or talented so you have given up trying to prove your worth to yourself.

However I see you around trying to build up your skills, dedicating a lot to your car washing machines, a lot more than you need to, with a lot more software that I would find reasonably required to do the job.

You're preparing yourself for some grand objective...

Let it free!

Well, I do keep trying some things. There are a couple things for my ultimate solution (maybe unrealistic) that I am trying to figure out. I need some foam and water mists to go with some pieces of equipment and would ultimately like for them to be animated as well.

I think maybe I post too many things as well. I have been using Sketchp for 2+ years now but primarily for the car washes. I would like to learn other hints as well. I see a lot of talented people doing things in this forum that I would love to be ale to do. Maybe some day.

You insensitive person!

You work with renders, at least you got to love that subtle caustics effect...

I like those expressions about Design and Art. Seems true to me.

One can make Art. This is called Art.

One can use Art (from the catalogue or his own) to make things usable in everyday life. This is called the skill of Designing things.

Art = Talent
Design = Skill

You have encapsulated the Art/Craft debate right there Rich.

But what is a skilled artist and a talented designer to make of that?

A skilled artist will make design and a talented designer will make art...

Well there ya go. I think you have it.

JQL

Yes I think I did!

Now a question for you: what if a skilled carpenter would put all his talent into designing a stool?

Too broad a question... is he just skilled?

If so, he would make a beautiful stool following the classic rules of 'form follows function'.

But. As a skilled 'person' he would be aware of all the myriad ways of achieving ass sitting.
He would also be dealing with client expectations, and we know how that can go.
He would be dealing with available material.
He would wondering how he could get it onto 'ETSY'

Design challenge anyone. A stool that is both art and design in equal portions?

JQL

A stool is design?
A stool is art?

JQL

I'm in the challenge, I've got some ideas already, but I'm a very unskilled and untalented carpenter.

After cutting a calf in half and an unmade bed, perhaps the stool is next. Oh, you mean THAT kind of stool.......!
