Ch 6,7,& conclusion:

Freeland asks if "we can look at art simply for enjoyment?".  It seems as if we have thoroughly discussed this over the course of this semester.  I feel that it is up to the viewer on how they view the art.  Sure, the viewer might benefit more by looking into the background of the worker but not everyone will look into it.  Later on, the discussion of whether art going digital is good.  I guess it is good and at the same time its not but regardless it is going to happen.  Digitalizing art does potentially take away a person's desire to see it in person but it also gives the art work more exposure which is always good.  

 Questions:
I personally am all for digital art but was wondering how a majority of the older artists feel who did not grow up with computers.
