Art in the past seem to lack personal creativity freedom. People were limited to what they learned and studied about art and design but were never taught the importance of how to create something from your own imagination. instead they learned how to do something in a specific way and continued on with that mind set. A new idea that can lead to new art for the future is how Gropius talks about theory. People just designed things for the sake of looks but never asked why? What is it suppose to do? why does it do that? and if thats what it does, how should it look. The theory behind design can help push art further into a better future.
Art and Language together in art can play a great role together. Where as images can represent a more emotional message with its visual. While Typography can read out the message that the story or image is trying to tell a better with more information than the image alone. Its important for language to play a roles so that it can make art universally understood.
I think when teaching students about art and design. They should always teach traditional and newer styles that exist during that teaching. It can give students plenty of options of how to approach what they work on and how they work on it besides just following on style, their minds can open up a world of combination of styles that they learned and make into something else. maybe start a new combination of styles that most people wouldnt think about. Similar to how we can mix two types of fonts as long as are still eligible and dont ruin the design and look.
what is lacking in art of the past? What sort of new strategies or ideas will lead to a new art for the future? What role, according to these authors, should typography, photography, and other media play in the new art? What role should language play in art and design? What should education or “the academy” teach artists about their field? Which of these ideas need to be updated and which continue to hold true in 21st century art and design?
