Today we where discussing the Industrial Revolution and how it effected the art of that time. I read an exerpt from a Charels Dickens story and a poem about that time. They gave me the same feelings that movies about that time do. People back then lived a long hard, dirty, sad life where their lives where consumed by work and making enough money to barly feed their families. This probably really effected the art of that time.
While the rich continued buying high priced classic art peices, the poor and working class began to create works of art that mirrored their lives. Some things that I noticed where a change from scenes of nature to generic, robotic dipictions of their factory towns. Poems where sad and somber. In my opinion this time in human history marked the begining of the end in terms of global warming and health of our planet.
till next time
