What is Art & Design?

​

Yes, we just asked: what is art? What a nebulous thing to try to define. Any range or product of creative human activity can be defined as art. Most well associated are the visual arts: painting, drawing, sculpture etc.

​

The design is the preliminary planning, when the first seeds of what may become a great work of art are sown. Being taught to come up with the ideas for a great piece of artwork is as important as the art creation itself.
