How BBC Earth paints us a perfect picture | Is This Art?

10 33



In the year 2050, two thirds of the global population will live in an urban area or city. Yet, we humans are drawn towards nature ever since we left it behind. How has our obsession with nature inspired visual artists throughout?

Welcome to Is This Art? Where we take a closer look at pop culture and try to answer the age-old question: is this art?
Thanks for visiting our RijksTube Channel! This is where we share quick, fun and informative bite-sized videos about the intersection between art and pop culture.

    "Art" isn't just a painting! – If you did a "is this Art?" for ballet, you'd probably compare the dancers to paintings of dancers. If you're going to do a show called "Is this Art", please get a writer with perhaps a degree on the subject.

    Make a history line of what style of art was invented when!

    I feel like this is the first video where you didn't end with a "is this art". Still a lovely video!

    So in a way art is simply a different reality from our own.
