Ana Wien

Functional art and design objects

The subject of what separates art and design is convoluted and has been debated for a long time.

Artists and designers both create visual compositions using a shared knowledge base, but their reasons for doing so are entirely different.

Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves designers.

So what exactly is the difference between art and design? the core principles of each craft is also art. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something new, but to propose alternative concepts for something that already exists, for a purpose.

That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to rethink the objects through designs that most effectively communicate their message and motivate their consumers to innovate their own ideas.

A good piece of design can still be successful without being to your taste. If it accomplishes its objective of being understood and motivates people to do something, then whether it’s good or not is a matter of opinion.

Few artists call themselves designers because they seem to better understand the difference. Artists do not create their work to sell a product or promote a service. They create it solely as a means of self-expression, so that it can be viewed and appreciated by others. The message, if we can even call it that, is not a fact but a feeling.
