The new conceptual art uses anything to put ideas across. It can either be a written description or a performance unlike what the artwork calls about. Just as the name suggests, conceptual art is developed from any idea and is immediately put into practice. However, I think that conceptual art could have a negative impact on overall art. The reason behind the assumption is because conceptual art does not follow any standards and this could lead to dematerialization of art. Other forms of art consider art standards by ensuring that idea are thought of before they can be properly presented in a better form. In most cases, the new conceptual art does not put into consideration how it will affect the society.

Conceptual art could be a better way of expressing ideas and thoughts but I honestly do not understand why art should change in this way. Am not comfortable with art changing in this way because the new conceptual art will lead to erosion of great meaning that is held by other forms of art. Just like a sculptor or a painter, art should incorporate ideas and meanings that people can understand and the art should therefore give some meaning to the society. Art should be understood by the general public and should remain artistic to give relevance. The impact to the society should be measured before having people exposed to it. New conceptual art does not guarantee any growth of art in general and therefore its relevance is recognized by few people in the society who are affiliated to it.
