Discussion 12.2: Continuing the Conversation

Discussion 12.2: Continuing the Conversation

Q After watching Ross and Anthony talk about the past and present a great deal in this course, and after having a chance to reflect on this material yourself, the discussion this week turned its attention to the future. What do you think is coming next? Where do you think art is going? Base this specifically on what we have encountered in the course. Begin by asking yourself: do the tripartite sequences we have developed form a possible blueprint for the way art might change in the future? In other words, since the cycles seem to repeat, whether or not they were consciously intended, the question arises as to whether this might be a predictive model. If so, what do you think the future of art might look like? And of course, you should bring your own instinctive reaction to the question into play as well. The question here might be: how are you answering this question differently now than, say, how you might have answered it before you took the course? In other words: let the content of the course in some way shape your answer, whether it is through the material that Anthony and Ross provided, or through what the textbook stated. Your post should be two to three (well-developed) paragraphs long. You may also upload descriptive text, images, a YouTube link, or an MP3 file. View and comment on at least one of your classmates' posts.

The history of art has seen many constructions and deconstructions of the ideas and art is evolving every day. If we look back in the history, we could spot that art started as a language to express emotions when language had not been invented yet. Since the time of the cave paintings, art has seen expression of idealistic values, realistic values, surrealistic values and even something that is valuable only to the creator or some people. Art is based on ideas and these ideas have been constructed and deconstructed over the time to invent something new and thus, it will be better to say that art is all about innovation.
