Ep.023 - Art and the Artist’s Cultural Impact
For a quick recap - last week we discussed the symbiotic relationship that is art and culture. How culture can define art, but how art can help shape culture. This week we are talking a bit more specifically about how within that relationship, art and culture together impact the individuals. Whether it is a specific group in society, or just one person, art can impact us emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This is something that I believe everyone can understand - no matter the content, no matter the medium, everyone at some point in their lives has been impacted by art, because art is the representation of what makes us human, wherein lies it’s power. This is why it has been born from major movements in history, helped define or create those movements, and has been able to convince people through education and entertainment of a particular idea or ideas.
