I wasn't physically present in class but I looked over the powerpoint for the day and thought about it. I especially liked the concept of art being motivated by oneself and design being motivated for others. I never really thought about art and design systematically, only simply the act of designing or creating art.
The Industrial Revolution is a very important era of design. Urbanization demands evolution of the environment to accommodate it's population. But now the population has extra cash and an evolving aesthetic, designers really got to go to the extreme and create toilets, chairs, trains, and telephones for others and on a larger scale due to machinery. Also the ability to manipulate natural materials like steel and glass more easily really put a new edge and appeal to design.
