3 min survey about fine art & graphic design by doug crites

February 14th, 2010 by admin

This is a video survey of UMSL students talking about the differences between fine art and graphic design. The project resulted in the creation of study fine design, a movement that hopes to blur the line between fine art and graphic design, break boundaries, and start a new art revolution! Thanks to all of my friends for appearing in the video, especially my beautiful girlfriend Lauren LeBlanc.

    I kind of wish I had gone to Art school, but this makes me feel better about being a self taught real world artist. I am involved in the New Hampshire Art Association, and am afraid of the “politics” in art. Why do I get criticised for my education, yet juried for my talent?

    I went to a fine art university for 4 years in the drawing & painting program. It was the closest thing I could get to Illustration without going into the Design program, and it was… interesting, to say the least. People had very strange ideas about illustration and design.

    Do you know how many months it took that fine artist to paint that 3000 painting? And how often the fineartist is able to sell a painting? Everyone is all ready able to buy all the software, have been for 10 years or more.

    Graphic Design in …
    Graphic Design in 10 years from now, will not exist, anyone is going to be able to become a graphic designer, just by buying the softwares and putting effort to know the basics. And it will not be graphic designer, but Graphic Artist or Graphic Art, or Artist. And that’s it!!! But still, companies will hire creative dudes!!! To be honest, if a painter sells a painting for 3000 dllrs in just one piece, who is more intelligent? The designer or the artist?
