Reading #2 Approaches to Postmodern Art-Making
As I was reading through the chapter on Postmodern Art I came to the conclusion that this thought process is very much about not following what is traditional. Throughout the reading it showcased multiple times that the Postmodern approach would do the opposite of what was viewed as the standard. It felt as if this approach was a way of rebelling and pushing the boundaries for what could be considered art. In this collage I have selected pieces which I believe fit the 18 categories of the reading. Unfortunately due to Tumblr limiting me to only 10 pictures per post I can only list the images I found.
