Study task 2

Our task was to write a short paragraph about a piece of art that is cross disciplinary between Fine art and Illustration, challenging the 'norm' as discussed in Marshall Arisman's article 'Is there Fine Art to Illustration?'

In the practice of Fine art the art is there to convey whatever the artist pleases whereas in illustration the art is crated through constrains and briefs with a purpose. There are pieces that use aspects of both professions breaking the 'norm' as discussed in Arisman's article 'Is there fine art to illustration?' there has become a taboo of illustrators and fine artists working cross practice as Fine art is seen as the pure art but illustration is considered selling out. Michelangelo's Sistine chapel. Fine art. But arguably there are aspects of illustration in as it has a purpose, it tells the story of creation. Having it in a chapel clearly there were constraints to his practice as it had to be relevant to its surroundings. 

I think this example should show that the line between fine art and illustration has been crossed in the past and should continue to be crossed as both disciplines offer successful and emotive pieces of art.
