This introduction article (that leads to several other articles outside
of this one) reviews significant happenings in the evolving treatise about the
interplay of design, craft and art. I found a poignant quote from the first
page that summed up what I got out of this article as a whole:
“Design, craft
and art can be seen to occupy an unstable territory of permanently shifting
allegiances of practice and discourse”

I thought this article as very interesting and brought up some very good points. As a design student in the College of Fine Arts I always find the relationship between my major and other "art majors" interesting. There always seems to be a tension and a lack of understanding on both sides on each others point of view. I think it's important for all three of these topics (art, crafting and design) to be aware of each other and allow them to influence each different subject. I think there will always be tension between these topics in a way because they are all trying to prove themselves but I think the more people understand that they don't have to compete with each other the less tension there will be.
