To me, architects have more interesting and rewarding careers than art professors and have the capability to turn their creativity into works that are utilized and admired by many. In Becoming an Architect by Lee Waldrep, architects are defined as “professionals trained in the art and science of building design and licensed to protect public health

1983, 7), this “imagined past” was an idea of nostalgia playing a major role in the lives of arts and craftspeople after the Great Depression.

Graphic design in the 1950’s-1960’s largely focused on uniformity. The emerging concept was to create a universal language of graphic design that could be used and understood unanimously. World War II was over and consumption was on the rise. Global capitalism was growing.

Visual arts play an important role in one’s life. Researches show that kids growing up in an aesthetic environment develop far better than kids growing up without it (Early Childhood Education Journal, Vol. 30, No.4, Summer 2003).
