Kees Dorst -- "But, is it Art?"

I feel that my perspective on designers have shifted a little after reading this article by Dorst. He mentions that artists strive to influence the feeling or thinking of an audience. Designers are similar in that way, except they do it promote an idea/place/object, which is the goal. To me, as a student, I feel very little satisfaction with many of my projects, although they were successful in the eyes of the professor. I yearn to make great art like that of professionals, but I still have much to learn. This is probably more towards a personal route.
