Traditions & Institutions
Art forms an identity and recognition by the way it is categorized into historical traditions or socially constructed art institutions.
Dedication & Special Focus
Art is a category separate from ordinary life. It takes dedication to create an object of singular attention, a masterpiece.
Skill & Virtuosity
We value and attempt to harvest Skill. Virtuosity is a commodity. There is a universal impulse to improve and expedite the process of creation.
Representation
Representation is not imitation, rather a repetition of a pattern in the fabric of our visual and auditory senses. Words are oral and written patterns.
