Implications - Art is already an experimental form of expression, calling individuals to create reflections of their imaginations in a tangible form. When the subject matter they decide to depict has been done over and over again, artists don't need to abandon their dreams of making a unique work of art; instead, creatives can reinvent classic images by exploring new mediums and different styles to introduce new twists to familiar sights.
