 "The real controlling resource and the absolutely decisive factor of production
is neither capital not land nor labor. It is knowledge instead of capitalists and
proletarians, the classes of the post capitalists society are the knowledge
workers and the service workers." Peter Drucker's seminal book Post- Capitalist
Society (1993).

In the first episode of the video series "New Ways of Seeing a project by The
New York Times'T Brand Studio and jewelry giant Tiffany and Co., art critic Jerry
Saltz (2016) underscored the significance of not only the discovery of the cave
paintings, but also the paintings themselves. He asserted that "these first
artists invented a way to get the three-dimensional world into two dimensions
and attach value to their own ideas. And all of the history of art flows forth from
this invention.

Early on, artists were embedded in the development of culture, and in turn, art
was nurtured by the varying culture in which it existed. There are numerous
monuments and memorials that are plotted over the world such as.

What is Artisan and Guild?
-A guild (/gild/ GILD) is an association of artisans
and merchant who oversee the practice of their
craft/trade in a particular territory.

-An artisan is a skilled worker who makes the

things by hand.
*Museums are packed with numerous artifacts
and interesting objects from all over the world
that have survived centuries for us all to see.
Magnificent structures that are often appreciated
not only for their historical significance but more
so for their aesthetic characteristic
 - a style of masonry building characterized by the
cavernous spaces with the expanse of walls broken
up by overlaid tracery.

Craftsman and builders in the past did not have

sophisticated terminologies and principles that
architects and engineering abide by today. What they
had was a sense on how materials behaved, how the
environment, light, and weather patterns affected
structures and other more intuitive principles of
creation.

- in Germany, it is one of the many examples of early Gothic
architecture. -the tallest twin-spired church in the world -said to
have been used as an easily recognizable navigational landmark.

The big shift that propelled the evolution of the pivotal role
of the artist in the arts started during the Middle Ages up
to the Renaissance period.

 Mediam is the mode of expression in which the concepts, idea or message is
conveyed it may be concrete or tangible, such as paintings, sculptures,
monuments and structures, or it may be ephemeral or something transient,
such asin track (recording of a sound), a film, or a performance. For concrete
works, the objects physically manifest themselves for a lasting period. For
ephemeral works, on the other hand, it is durational
*A chosen medium must not be expected to yield the same results.
Giving two different artists the same exact material and the general
qualifier of "painting", the end product will still vary minimally or in an
exponential scale.

*This is where technique comes in, as it is the reason why art history is
described by a seemingly limitless example of works of art.

*The technique of the artwork shows the level of familiarity with the
medium being manipulated

* It alludes to the necessity of additional tools or implements (e.g

hammer and chisel may come in handy for sculptors), de consideration
of time (e.g. for paintings, it requires drying time) and the specificity of
the site of creation (eg indoor or outdoor production requirements).
 "Exhibitions act as the catalyst of art and ideas to the public; they
represent a way of displaying and contextualizing art that makes it
relevant and accessible to contemporary audiences. The art exhibition,
by its nature, holds a mirror up to society, reflecting its interests and
concerns while at the same time challenging its ideologies and
preconceptions. Keeping art relevant to society and to a diverse
audience at any given point in history is one of the main goals of the art
exhibition and one of the reasons it is so important to the history of art."
Anna Cline's The Evolving Role of the Exhibition and its Impact on Art
and Culture (2012).

"Exhibitions are strategically located at the nexus where artists, their

work, the arts institution, and many different public intersects Paula
