It was interesting to see the background / history of how the definition or range of art and music were pushed further. I think the part that stood out most to me was the turning point where art schools provided the environment in which students could try new things, becoming “the point of origin for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work.”

It’s also interesting to see how pop started, with “the principle that a good punk song only needed three chords applied just as much as the do-it-yourself attitude.” I think this is a mindset that still prevails, even in our course right now. It’s noteworthy that the combination of a good environment and a shift in people’s perspectives opened the field to new definitions of musicians and artists, and what they could do.
