It was really cool to see samples of the art being made in all of these classes. There are a lot of similarities between the art and design departments, but also a lot of differences.. I think design had a lot more variety.. Like they had 3-d elements, Adobe design, animation, drawing, painting, photography, video... So much! And I saw so many different styles- the animation art next to the photography was completely different in style and feel. I also felt that the design department was more geared to occupation.. Because with those jobs, you would most likely be creating for a certain company or employer. And so I felt like a lot of the work was already trying to achieve that.. Like, trying to create the styles of companies they want to work for. Whereas art, I felt, was more unified.. (Maybe because I'm biased) but, I could see how students were developing their own voice in their art making. I mean, there was a lot of variety too, everyone has a different voice. I also saw a lot of people being inspired by their classmates and teachers' work. And I think as opposed to the design department, art students are more about creating for themselves- they want to be successful artists in their own way.
good insights
