Well today after looking through a task given by our tutor about defining Art and after looking through  the definitions of the different types of art-- I found these three headings. - Objective Formative and Generative.

 An Objective way of looking at the world which is based on the what the artist perceives.This can be done using images of photography or any other type of media and is usually a true likeness of the object.

The Formative uses -montage - film and photos to create images or Collage which disrupts commercial images and text or  Bricolage which takes everyday images and enables their meanings to be expanded in some way.

Finally Generative - explores the visual arts using media of any types in any space.

Objective and Formative objectives  are clear to me however I have doubted the worth of the Formative objectives.
 However after looking at the work of John De Caries Taylor - I learned that  his work is objective and uses a different sense of space and his work has installations which is typical of the Formative view.

It is good to see an artist using his skills to help to repopulate the seas around Mexico while creating beautiful art at the same time.
