  • Yes, it is, Tery.

    And I'd reply directly to you, but apparently I can't message you on your wall.

    Quit being a stinker and open it up. :awesome:
    I am happy to see ZIO posting again, so much that I gave him a project in his thread! :D
    It sounds like the class is talking about that age old "What is art" question. "Fine Art Perspective" can mean a lot of things, but it sounds like he's comparing how different groups with different interests hold certain standards for what qualifies as 'good' art, or even art in general.

    A curator might view an art piece based on how closely it follows popular art trends, how marketable it is, and how much traffic it can bring to their gallery.

    An art historian might view the same art piece based on the time period/context under which it was made, the artist's supposed underlying message, and how successfully that message was conveyed.

    An individual who happens across the same piece might consider it art solely because it looks nice or inspires them, ignoring the previously mentioned factors.

    Different time periods/locations in art history had different standards for what was considered "fine art" though, so I can't be sure which definition your professor is going by. Did they give a specific definition/examples of 'Fine Arts Perspective'? It's probably something that will be elaborated on eventually.

    At least that's what it sounds like he's trying to say from what you mentioned. It's been a while since I've sat in on an Art History course so I might be off lol.
    So, how much salt has been expressed on the other forum you lurk since looking at the PSV's abysmal sales for last week?
    You know I'm only kidding around. :tytypoo:

    I hope you have a great 2012!
    The Xbox needs Halo or else all they'd have would be Gears and Fable. Halo is as important to the Xbox as Mario or Zelda are to Nintendo. They sell consoles.

    Sony has Uncharted and God of War. Both Failzone and Resistance blow. The PS3 doesn't really have a "must have" shooter IMO. (CoD sells the best on the 360.)

    Kinect is doing well, selling a lot. Too bad it has no good games except for the Dance Central games. :urg:

    MW3 will outsell Black Ops. I don't know how much longer each new CoD game can outsell the previous one tho.
    I know, but I have faith in 343i. Microsoft needs more Halo titles, or else they'd be in trouble against Sony.

    I'm waiting for the next best thing.
    I can't help it. Activision single handily ruined BOTH the GH and CoD series by over saturation and poor management. Activision basically killed IW last year and MW3 isn't a real CoD game IMO since it was made by the ghost of IW and most of the good IW employees left to form Respawn. 90% of the MW3 MP maps blow cause Sledgehammer Games helped IW make 'em. =/

    MW3 takes several steps back and I am no longer supporting Activision with their cash cow. I'm done with CoD. I'm going back to my roots by buying Halo 4 next year.
    No they're not, have New Year's Day is on Sunday but yeah, I plan on reverting back to my old non-Holiday Typhlosion avatar on Monday.

    And thanks, ZIO! :)
    I don't know if birds celebrate Christmas, but if they do, then Merry Christmas, ZIO!
    It's not bad. Weather stays above freezing, 4 hour trip to SoCal for tournaments, doesn't rain much. I don't think I've ever seen it snow out here. Gas prices are comparable to Michigan's, which I found funny. The local Smash and DDRITG communities are pretty cool too. And I guess having a 60k/year job makes living here worth it too, lmao.
    I live about a mile and a half south of the Strip. It's pretty much like suburban desert around here, as long as I don't go onto the Strip. Over there traffic's pretty rough 24/7. Luckily there's no reason for me to be there unless I feel like wasting a weekend or something.
