Takeaways from the Geneaology presentation:
- Art reflects life (what is going on in the world... politically, socially, physically)
-'Edgy' art is what survives : the things that take most people by surprise will be saved, photographed, written about, gossiped about... whether the reaction is good or bad (example: corsets from the Victorian era were padded to make figures seem more extreme and photos were painted over to make the waist appear thinner. The surviving garments are those that are petite and extreme because people thought them worth saving.)
- People are drawn to nature art - art that is made with nature/is made by nature, or is made a part of nature
- Art over time can be classified into two categories (not only these 2... there are many more, but ultimately if you took all the art from everyone over all time and were told to group them by categories, these 2 might be what I would choose) : Art for the rich, and Art for the poor
- Art for the rich: Shown in museums, made for high-class consumption by people who can afford to take time out of their day to visit the pieces, even if the exhibitions are free. May not have originally been made for this purpose, but has been taken out of context and put in a place only reachable by those with money
- Art for the poor: Street art, action done by the people for the people meant to make a statement or simply be beautiful. Something seen in everyday life - can be a painting on the sidewalk, graffiti, a garden, the way someone dresses, family recipes, etc. Not always intended to be artistic
