Even though popular art forms have changed over time, paintings have given way to television and movies; it still exerts a great influence on how people see their world. Take television, for example, young children sense of materialism is greatly reinforced by the commercials they see while watching cartoons. What child hasn’t gone to their parents after seeing a commercial for a toy, say Kung Fu grip GI Joe, and told, not asked, their parent for it. We can see individualism reinforced in our society by the way we revere celebrities much as Da Vinci and Michelangelo must have been in their time. Finally, we secularism in movies whether it be real life dramas or in altered realities of science fiction. These movies pose questions to us about the world we inhabit or hope to inhabit one day. So, yes, art in all its forms still has a resounding influence in the development of our worldview.
