Fine art should be studing art history, philosophy, among other art-related topics.
Applied arts should be more hands on .. whatever media you want

so, would this be fine or applied?.....

Fine art has no practical value whatsoever.

Applied art is at least somewhat useful.

(My mostly cynical but not altogether untrue answer.)

Fine art is simply for art's sake, no practical use.

Applied art has more of a use to it, but is still.. for art.. sake...

Design is totally practical, not for art sake (I study design )

That is it. To everyone talking about art being useless, I never, ever want to see you complain about the Pontiac Aztek being ugly.

Who said there were no bad designers in this world ?

Edit - I do not mean that art is totally useless, however fine art is very much for the sake of art, it is there to look pretty or trigger some sense. Something, I don't study fine art.

Design is practical, it is made to solve problems etc. The aztec is a poor design, simply because it is ugly. There is a ton of horrible design in this world.

So really I don't understand what you mean by your post with regards to mine
