week 5: tutorial

I found this tutorial very interesting.
We discussed this statement by Susan McCullochs, 'The revitalisation of Australian Aboriginal art has been one of the great success stories of modern art."

My group discussed and we agreed to this statement. Yes to a degree. That it is only the beginning considering where they came from. She meant that now Aboriginal art is included and the at form is internationally recognised.

Also read Hetti Perkins: One Sun One Moon.

In her article, Hetti Perkins argues that Australian Aboriginal art defies attempts to include it in the western art canon.
My group thought Aboriginal art still have a lot to achieve, they are defiantly still moving forward.
We thought some art does, some art doesn't. It really depends on the art and the material, mediums and the aesthetics.
