Paul Rand described the problem with art as how best to arouse curiosity, hold attention, and engage creative faculties. Rand has found two factors that impact this problem. These factors are the kind of problem chosen for study and the why in which it is posed. He describes how basic rules and disciplines must be followed. He compares design to a game and how the rules must be followed to be successful. He states, “The rules are the means to the end, the conditions the player must understand thoroughly, and work with, in order to participate.” Unfortunately, some schools give little guidance to students. He later describes how arrangements may be pleasing and pretty but have no meaning. He explains how there are relationships in art including harmony, order, proportion, and many others. Throughout the article he talks of several teaching styles. One of these teaching styles is that teaching should alternate between theoretical and practical problems. I agree with Rand in the aspect that there are certain rules in art and design that should always be followed. I agree that there should be meaning rather than just visual appeal. However, I think sometimes the rules must be broken for art to expand and grow over time.
