Art & Craft – 3

Art, Craft and Design are three inter-dependent disciplines. They are fundamental to human existence, predating written language. They play a major role in human evolution and development. Each involves a different way of thinking:
• Art emphasizes ideas, feelings, and visual qualities
• Craft emphasizes the right use of tools and materials
• Design emphasizes planning, problem-solving and completion, using
drawing as a means of thinking
These unite in the basic human drive to shape the world, for functional purposes, and to express and communicate ideas and feelings. The contribution of the visual and plastic arts to life is a unique and enriching experience for all.
