Comments on: Art History Introduction http://www.arsfidelis.org/2010/07/art-history-introduction/ for the art enthusiast Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:49:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: oldskoolmacboy http://www.arsfidelis.org/2010/07/art-history-introduction/comment-page-1/#comment-574 oldskoolmacboy Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:17:02 +0000 http://www.arsfidelis.org/2010/07/art-history-introduction/#comment-574 The first part was absolute rubbish and the use of this kind of language is what's wrong with art education today. The use of long winded big thought provoking sentences. If you want to get across Art history, break it down into component parts for the general public. The use of new media is there to help us. Why shouldn't it be in an easily digestible format? Art is not elitist, it's for everyone it's fascinating and a historical commentary. Let's lose the snobbery.

I really want to know more about art! I don't think you are being snobish either, and I wouldn't care if you were! I might mention one of my basic motivations for higher learning though... I want to be a character in a Dan Brown novel, so in order to make that happen I feel I really need to learn as much about mathematics, art, psychology, and history! lol.. i know its ridiculous but hey... im a college student! :D right on! great intro to what you want to do!

Art, at SEVERAL points of history has been used to demonstrate power, divinity (think Church, Christ Icons) or wealth, elitism, status (think all the amazing LouisXIV paintings and such). Today, most people dont have time for 'art'- if you follow a Marxist discourse, art is left solely for the IDLE, and then the WEALTHY, i.e. those who have an abundance of time.

It is extremely commercial, and global. At the same time, we regard art as a product of something extremely personal. Here lies the crux of the dilemma. And I really don't think the first part was rubbish at all. He was using quite clear, coherent English, from what I heard...

Everything I dislike about art students and historians. A painful video to watch. I disagree, complete self indulgent rubbish. I get the feeling that this guy is stroking his own ego.
