The Art World Expands

I hate to say it, but after the first couple of pages, this was one of the worst things I have ever had to read... it talked about photography for a bit, which really grabbed my attention because I am a photo major, but soon after I had no idea what they were talking about. If I ever hear the word postmodernalism again, it will be too soon. Maybe it is because I don't have the proper knowledge of all of these different times and movements but they confuse me. I know that they are completely relevant and that the art world had to experience them to get to where we are today....and I appreciate that, I just think that I don't understand it completely when these words are thrown at me. I do realize how far the art world has come with incorporating technology and new techniques, and as an "artist", I am excited to see all of the different styles that I can incorporate into pieces, hopefully really expanding my horizons. I think that although it seems that almost everything has been done, I will still see things that will shock and awe me beyond what i thought it could.
