"Art is about life, and it can't really be about anything else."
This is one quote by Damien Hirst from Taylor's presentation on contemporary art that really stuck with me. Art is always about some aspect of life because life is all we know as human beings. The events we go through, all the different emotions we feel, and the thoughts we have.
I thought this topic for a presentation was great! Especially when some of us will eventually have to go up for BFA Reviews. We should be thinking about what contemporary art is, and how our own artwork relates into this.
It's crazy to think of everything that is out there as art now. I know this subject must have been difficult to make a concise presentation out of - just from the mass amount of STUFF - but Taylor did a great job! I think it was also a great followup to my Theories of Art presentation - because in a world full of different types of "art", I think it's important to have a good concept on what YOU think is art - especially when appreciating art.
