[edit] responses to the merge tag

Hi

I don't think that Principles of Art, Elements of Art, or basic drawing topics should be merged into Design Principles. Even though Art and Design may have overlapping principles and elements, I see them as separate topics. Art and design are related, but art isn’t always design and design is not always art. I can definitely see basic drawing topics being referred to from this section. But I think they would be more useful within their own context. sh0wnpc 17:15, 01 October 2006

[edit] I agree, somewhat

I agree that these topics should not be merged together.

I think that design (as in graphic design) is a subset of art, and that design (as in principles) make good art possible. However, design is discussed and used differently in graphic design than it is in the fine arts. Therefore, they should be separate topics.

[edit] I oppose the merge

The basic topic lists are a contents system (see Wikipedia:Contents) and not merely lists or articles. They're for navigation and to present the basics. There's going to be some redundancy with other articles, but to leave any major subject out will create a hole in the set's topic coverage. I also agree with the arguments posed above.  The Transhumanist   14:40, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
