There was some really good comments on her post over there. I think in a lot of ways there is a reformation going on within the art community that will be realized in the near future. We've come a long way, but to some degree our motives must now be deconstructed as we move forward so that we can continue to innovate the field without losing meaning. Curtis, did you get a chance to take Tammy’s poll and see what her results were?

I typically tout my work as simply "Abstract" since that's how many would refer to it, even though I know full well that the term has evolved over several decades and across several social classes. The meanings of terms change, depending on who you're speaking to and there's not much you can do about it. How people view the terms 'art' as it compares to crafts is also somewat troublesome.

In fact, he IS the channel editor of this channel. The decision is to change our name to Arts and Design. Pretty spiffy, isn’t it? I like it and think it shows the forward thinking nature of our bloggers. In fact, I did a post at Christmas about this very subject titled Are You An Artist? And an article of the week titled Is Sewing A Forgotten Art? [...] [...] William, over at Artist Hideout, has some interesting thoughts on the matter.
