Print Culture And Distribution

Gutenbergs printing press. The age of printing began around 1450. 

Art schools

Art schools taught painting, sculpture, architecture, music, poetry.
Somerset House in London was the first sight of the Royal Academy. At this time the art school only allowed men and the men only ever painted men. 

Industrial Revolution 1780-1840

Mechanised techniques started to be used, these were faster methods of production and meant things could start to be mass produced. 

Class War
segregation between classes working class made their own culture using mechanised techniques such as printing methods. 

Books such as culture and anarchy by Matthew Arnold. 1867 this book studies perfection and anarchy within the working class. 

Saying that Graphic Design is not a proper art form. Aristocrats produdice against working class.
