In this article the readers learn about the importance of art, spreading artwork with others, sharing artwork information online, and tourists visiting/buying work. Art is known for telling stories and expressing emotions that the creator displayed in the work. When there is art out there that you really connect to or like, you would most likely buy it and that's what many tourists do. Many art museums have tours for all of the tourists that want to look into buying the work but some of them don’t want the hour long discussion or all works, this is discussed in the article because the meaning of the artwork is important to all the artist and needs to be talked about. A new way of sharing their artwork now during a pandemic like the one we are living in right now would be online. Some artwork can’t be shown online so they can only have descriptions and people will have to find a way to view it in person. For the ones that can be shown online will be put all over a website so many people can view it and hopefully understand the backstory. Artists are very careful with what work they put online because some of them can be very cultural and it’s not okay to put those up, a lot of tourists know this and try scheduling ways to meet up with artists to view the work.

In this article we learn about history, understanding indigenous art, where the art comes from, what inspires some artists, and how they show artwork. Inspiration can come from anywhere and anything. A lot of inspiration could be found through tradition which can’t really be shared online. When there are works of art done about traditional things, it’s better to see these in person. It might be hard to do now but it’s still preferred because there is a place for work like this to be shown. Another reason artists prefer showing their work in person is so they can give people full descriptions of what the work is about and what it means to them. Lots of work can relate to people because of its history, if someone connects to the art work it might be because they can feel a connection from their past. This article covers many topics on respecting art and where it comes from, which needs to be understood by everyone looking to buy some art. Not everything can be shared on an open space like in websites online but they can be shown in person, in the end usually everything is better in person.

Since younger generations grew up with technology, they are taking over all of the computer jobs because they can get the skill down very quickly. The generations mentioned in this article are Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Gen X-ers, and Millenials. The article gives readers a description of who makes up the generations and tells the readers what they grew up with. This also tells the readers how to connect and close the gap a bit.
