Art and Design and Architecture is an important difference to understand before making career decisions. You or your child might have an interest in Drawing, Sketching, Painting, Art, and Craft. Now the doubt comes when it is time to decide which stream to select after Class 10 and which entrance exam to attempt after Class 12 or Intermediate.
This article will help you!
Lack of familiarity and awareness might make you feel to keep creativity as a hobby than a profession. After reading this article and going through a Free Counselling Session, you can decide for yourself.
Before jumping into the detailed analysis of the Difference between Art and Design and Architecture, watch this video for a better understanding.
This content has helped many students to make a decision much before the video was made.
As the video suggests Art, Design and Architecture have a common knowledge base but are different in their intention and application.
For example:
Interior Art is very different from Interior Design;
Graphic Art is very different from Graphic Design.
Example of a Manhole:
Why are Manholes’ lids circular in Shape?
10-15 years ago there were more square lids, but eventually, in the modernization, they have been converted to a circular shape.
Reason:
As seen above, Circle is the only shape that can’t slip through the opening. This was a major breakthrough as there were a number of reported cases of people falling into a manhole without lids.
This was a DESIGN PROBLEM.
On the other hand:
We all know the mystery of the Mona Lisa painting. It is left for different interpretations. It is not Conclusivee and is not trying to solve a problem.
Table: Art and Design
Art | Design |
Emotion Oriented | Solution-Oriented |
Art Inspires | Design Motivates |
Good Art is Interpreted | Good Design is Understood |
Good Art is Taste | Good Design is an Opinion |
Good Art is a Talent | Good Design is a Skill |
Good Art sends a Different Message to Everyone | Good Design sends the Same Message to Everyone |
Art is a Journey | Design is a Process |
Art is an Open debate | Design is Conclusive |
Art is an act of Freedom | Design is an Act of Empathy |
Then where is Architecture?
In short, the architecture combines Art, Design, and Science. Architects use their creativity and also their technical skills to make sure of a strong structure.
Let's build a villa for yourself
If you are getting a dream villa for yourself, you might need all three professionals to achieve your vision.
An Architect: to give you the design of the complete villa.
A Designer: to help you with interiors and furniture.
An Artist: to help you with a sculpture installation or your portrait painting on a wall.
Each field has its own significance and scope. You need to evolve in your interest and passion to build one.
