Once photography happened, drawing couldn't possibly serve the same function it used to! That said, it is a useful skill - just not culturally central any more. Likewise the desire to rebel against authority. We may have a more loose establishment these days, and "rebelling" isn't what it once was, but it's still easy to see who's doing innovative work. It's exciting up see artists working with new technology (3d printing, wearable art, etc), people doing insane and beautiful craft with new materials, young artists speaking out against the political status quo, and everyone using old technologies in new ways. These are interesting times!Aaronhttp://aaronbeebe.netnoreply@blogger.com
