I don’t think the internet has really made art any less prominent in our culture. It’s created new ways to make art. Not the internet, specifically, but technology. You can draw digitally now, edit photos and videos. Before this technology, you could paint, yes, you could sculpt, sure, but the computer has taken those to all new levels.
It was interesting to read the part at the end about how different cultures have different definitions of art in order to ensure its survival. I started thinking about what art is like in Japan as opposed to the United States, and it’s really completely different. It’s something to think about, why it’s like that. Traditions, beliefs, it all changes how people view art.
