The Art Life Blog makes the News

Clearly I should be checking out this blog. The article above should give you everything you need to know about it, leaving more typing room for My Perspective.

As coverage of the Arts decreases even in the high hat "Broadsheet" newspapers, it is understandable why a blog like this is needed. Also, the conservativeness of traditional media means that less conventional exhibitions do not get covered in such Arts sections.

With a blog like this, which is a newer medium, it is quite accessable to youth who are interested in the Visual Arts. Experienced, and veteran blogs who have survived their debut into the World Wide Web become popular as more people start looking at it, much like how more people are showing their support to this blog.

Really, if we embrace new formats and mediums of information, using them for good instead of turning the technology to the pits of Myspace Tartarus in regard to substance, we can really do something with it that will benefit everybody.

That's my view,

Sincerely, Jacob Martin, TeenAuthor.
