Prompt - In our own time, with all the emphasis placed on the concept rather than technique or even any particular medium, what role, if any, do you think the mediums of drawing and painting, for instance play in the production and evaluation of a work of art? Considering the connectivity between all two dimensional media, how would you articulate the progressive path in the development of techniques and materials from drawing to printmaking, photography and graphic arts? How much of this progression can be credited to creativity of artistic production and what portion to the market and commerce?
Objective - The purpose of this forum is to closely study and discuss the particularities of 2D mediums of art in order to explore how artists' visual expressions reveal artistic creativity through any given 2D medium.
Helpful Tip: There is limit on the word count, therefore be aware that you are not required to answer all parts of the prompt. Also, you must get beyond simply reiterating the information, and you should synthesize the material on your own by looking for connections between bits and pieces of information to contribute to the discussion.
