The End of the Painted Road...

Charlie and I have had an eye opening time learning about all of the different things that we have discovered during out time researching for this project. Prejudices ideas and judgment definitely play a huge impact on the art community. Whether it is women, men, transgender, homosexual or etc., there are different options in each a object group, some that I found obvious and others I was taken back with. Women discrimination was a new thing or us and I for one did not like the idea of women being judges for the type of work they want to display right along with the men. I appreciate that people that are being discriminated against have taken a somewhat harsh approach to whatever they wanted I convey to the audience through paint. The same for photos. Because photography is such a modern outlook on a expressing art nowadays, people have become more comfortable with expressing then selves through that medium. It was interesting to see all the ways that art has evolves for both painting and photography and how people have taken advantage of that fact. New ideas are being openly discussed through art each day and we feel it is important to acknowledge such work. It forces people to visually either accept/deny what they are seein new but for the most part it really opens up people to topics such as these that they are not comfortable with yet. We took a little bit of a too open ended approach to our subtopic idea and we should have coordinated out posts a little bit better to make a easier pathway for people to go through when looking at out posts. Overall we had a good time learning new things.
