Concept In Context
Research all documented periods throughout art history (you’ll learn some great things along the way). Make an equal number of small boxes out of archival rag paper. Collaborate with artists whose work represents each period of art history. Have each artist examine the same theme, perhaps “art itself”. Give them all specific deadlines as artist’s are often otherwise occupied with other projects and ideas. Collect all work, document it, giving proper credit to all parties involved. Compile each work representing a specific period in art history on one large piece of firm board (mat board, wood, etc.)
Matt and frame nicely.
Lastly, write an essay about the project and submit to galleries to be considered for exhibition. Then make prints of the completed artwork to share with the world.

…much like an idea that’s in the works for Arts YOUniverse’s next mural…the Artistic Ascent of Man…each stage of man is painted in the style of a specific art movement…until the final upright man who is drawn simply with a notehead for a head…hope to get funding for that this summer…

If there’s a notehead involved, I’m guessing John Pacovski is involved with that mural. Sounds pretty cool. I really enjoy the aerosol alley idea too. I’m just wondering if other taggers will respect a sanctioned project? What ever the case, the more art the better in my opinion, keep it up Katleen!
