OUGD401 The context of Practise

Could it be argued that fine art ought to be assigned more 'value' than more popular forms of Visual Communication?

Bibliography of books that i may find useful:

Fabella,T & Edwards, D, 2000, Graphic Idea Resource: Identity, building image through Graphic Design, Rockport Publishers, Classification 745.25
The reason i chose this book as I wanted to look at and find info on Graphic design that would help me compare the two art forms to the best of my ability. This is one type of Graphic design that plays a big part in the subject, it is also probably one of the most common pieces of Graphic Design that the general public would normally see and not recognize as graphic design.

Sidles, C, 1999, Printing: building great Graphic Design through Printing techniques, Massachusetts, Rockport Publishers, Classification 741.6 (Vernon Street)
Printing techniques could be taken into fine art and plays another big part of graphic design therefore to look at the importance of it with graphic design would be an interest concept to take as it is a mixture of both Graphic design and Fine art.

Gomez, E, 1999, New Design: London: The edge of Graphic Design, Massachusetts, Rockport Publishers, Classification 7416.04
I wanted to also look at modern contempary graphic design that would be interesting to see the contrast between that and modern contmporary Fine Art.

Kosner, J, 2004, Motion Graphic design and Fine Art animation: Principles and Practise, Oxford, Focal Press, Classification 778.5347
I wanted to maybe find a book that would contrast the two and see the comparisons and the differences however this was the only book that was available in the library that related to what i wanted. Even though it is about motion graphics and fine art animation it still shows the comparisons on some level.
Samara, T, 2012, Drawing for Graphic Design, Beverly, MA : Rockport Publishers, Classification 741.6 (Vernon Street)
Majority of people think that art is just drawing when in actual fact it has all different types of differences to it, and primarily a lot of people think fine art is drawing so i thought it would be interesting to look at a book that shows drawings for Graphic Design.
