Q1. Why do we go to museum to see a original piece of art, and not much care about the prototype of a design?

In my opinion, the soul of a art can not be replaced, which is unique and very personal.

Artists visualize their feeling into works which are appreciated for its beauty or emotion power, and the feeling and emotion also can not be manufactured, whereas design is a process of object, which can be developed through a method. That is why we usually question about the reasons of designs, not arts which you need to experience by yourself and art does not have to be reasonable.

Q2.How can we call a T-shirt with a piece of art was printed on it, Art or Design?

For me, when we try to print the drawing on T-shirt, we already start to make a plan about scale, colour and location,which is a process of a design. Thus it is a design for me.

Q3.A bed can not sleep on it, a cup can not fill with water. Art or Design?

Basically beds and cups could be a design, but without function and you can not gain any feeling on it, however it is just a broken cup and bed to me.
