Erik: What motivated you to integrate art
history and marketing focuses into your bachelor
of fine arts coursework in graphic arts?
Lulu: Well I think everyone should be well
rounded. So what ever your particular interest
is I think it’s still important to learn
about things that will support the interest.
Art throughout history is a narrative of what
happened during those times. For example at
the time, Degal, when he painted the ballerinas
back stage in Paris, now we view it as beautiful
work and it was a glimpse into backstage,
maybe a show. But at the time there was some
vulgarity to it because there shouldn’t
have been a man of his society standing being
backstage while ballerinas are practicing
or getting dressed. And when you look at art,
history plays a huge role because a lot of
times they’re narratives of the time period
that they were produced.
