Is it possible for us to take the full effect of a craft we made? Can we appreciate the masterpiece we worked so hard on in an instant? Can we prove that it is worth it? The answer is no; we can’t instantly appreciate something we completed without the recognition of other pair of eyes. How can we be fulfilled by that something we made if there’s no approval of others? In reality, we can be satisfied by something we created, but entirely so---- if others say so, too.
Preservation of artworks, sculptures, and other forms of art is widely done since the oldest of times when history is deemed significant and relevant for the present. Thousands of years ago had birthed a lot of art forms that became part of the history, showcasing the evolution of how arts had influenced the rich culture of the diverse eras.
There were no gawkers before, no anthropologist, no museum-enthusiasts. The quality of art before was not deemed to please, but to create. We can see it on the artifacts on the museums; a somewhat deformed rock, a complicated pattern of a completely black and white painting is an art. No matter what form of art it is, if it came from thousands of years ago, it is art and has different interpretations and meanings.
Different movements were formed in order to uplift and promote art engagements, The Arts & Crafts movement grew out of several related strands of thought during the mid-19th century. It was first and foremost a response to social changes initiated by the Industrial Revolution, which began in Britain and whose ill effects were first evident there.
Britain’s rich culture was still evident until the present times. The monarchy system was still alive in the present, despite the modernization and evolution of human government systems. So no doubt that they are the ones who started the movement.
To this day the movement continues to influence many craft makers, designers, and town planners. Its thinkers, chief among them William Morris (1834–1896), enjoy revived fame today.
Born in 1834 in East London, Morris spearheaded the resistance to mass-produced items. Along with a few other influential figures - like mathematician Charles Faulkner and civil engineer Peter Paul Marshall - Morris helped found the firm and interiors company Morris, Marshall Faulkner & Co.
If this great force of movement was never formed, patronization of art forms will never probably as strong and influential. These people who helped formulate the movement helped shaped a century and the essence of art would never probably be as widely encouraged today in the present times.
Apakabilis din hahahhaha
