Agree. The things that are dying are older traditional forms and older means of promulgating art. Artists aren't too interested in painting new religious frescoes these days either. The other change is that there is less of a gulf between "fine artist" and the common person who likes to "do art". I would however like to see people made aware of the fact that they are "making art": Not so that they can be conceited about it or high-brow, but so they can understand their connection to all the art and artists that have come before.
