This chapter discusses art and the meaning of art within different cultures. I particularly like John Dewey's idea that art is a universal language within which anyone, regardless of native language or geographical location could connect. I really like Asian art, for instance, even though I don't always know what its underlying meaning is. Because of modern technology I am able to loosely translate text in languages that are foreign to me, which helps to close the gap of misunderstanding.
This chapter also discusses certain art influencing other art in different countries. It also talks about how art can travel in a similar way to people because they take it with them. (not really physically take it with them, they bring with them their culture and native art ideas)
PS - I want a bonsai tree SO BAD. :D
