In what ways can we dismantle the learned behavior within our children to be unappreciative of fine art?
In what ways can we dismantle the learned behavior within our children to be unappreciative of fine art? Fine Art as the center of the art world!tag:bacnetwork.ning.com,2011-05-08:2348422:Topic:82802011-05-08T15:46:06.919ZEarl Johnsonhttp://bacnetwork.ning.com/profile/EarlJohnson
In what way can Fine Art regain the attention and respect of the community. It was not long ago when art was the language that we used as expression, telling history, and healing the mind and spirit by encouraging creativity in one's self. How can we get back to this?

I feel that Obama as president will not dramatically change anything in the white house, but the symbolism and energy that has excited black folk, we as artist can use as depicting more images of a complete, positive and intact black family. The notion that our people can have a home that has all the important components in place, (Mother, FATHER, Children, Grandmother, est.) fuels what we've been expressing as black artist all along! The black family is now on the display at the highest seat…

I feel visual art is not promoted like it use to. There is more concentration on computer graphic art. Also the general education of visual art is not promoted in schools outside the art classroom, thus the children grow in a culture of being ignorant about the art world. Today many black families spend most of their time at the movie theater, or at music concerts. Visual Art is trying to appeal to a crowd that has been saturated with computer animation, video games, movies and over glamorized…

It is from many ways and avenues that people have influenced my art work. The most prominent artist that inspired me to create art is my father. He happens to be a sculptor, painter, and jeweler who always encouraged me to be both confident and successful in my greatest talent which is art. I've now moved in to graphic and web design but the African influence that my father gave me is evident in my work.
