Prior to Print Culture, Oral Culture was all that existed. Oral Culture eventually felt the need to store their words in order to document processes and messages. The Chinese invention of paper and woodblock printing produced the worlds first print culture. These are my Lecture notes summarised into bullet points.
-The age of print started in 1450
-John Martin broke the system as he never trained at the royal academy. He earned an extreme amount of money from hosting his own exhibitions.
- Schools of design were introduced in 1836, where students were taught pop culture. Art school was then made available for the middle class.
-Mathew Arnold wrote a book on Culture and Anarchy where he explained the meaning of culture. Culture is: "The best that has been thought and said in the world, The study of perfection attained through disinterested reading, writing and thinking.
- The technological reproduction of art removes a sense of creativity and authenticity of the work.
- Printing in modern society comes in the form of newspapers, posters and screen prints of work.
Overall, I feel as though this lecture was helpful in understanding the values that are lost when a piece of work is reproduced over and over again.
In an animation sense, using the process of print would be a good concept and technique for an animation. Repeatedly printing the frames through a printing process.
