Response to Denise's question

"So, with new art forms always emerging to replace the old, will the traditional art forms lose their place in society?"
The dragon has given me the challenge of answering these on my own now. It is of my opinion that the traditional art forms will not lose their place, but rather, take a lesser roll in society, as we continue to grow and evolve as a culture, and as a species. New forms of art arise, grow popular, and eventually join the traditional art, but the traditional art does endure. Think about abstract art, cubist, greek scupltures, landscapes. At one point those were all new art forms. And they were displacing the then "traditional" art forms, but the traditional ones endure. While their place in society may not remain a popular idol, they will remain in society. My question i suppose would be more along the lines of: What do you consider art in this new age? I would consider video games, DnD campaigns, movies, stuff like that, all of it, art.
