The article<em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamasutra.com\/view\/feature\/132302\/persuasive_games_the_.php?page=4\">Persuasive Games: The Proceduralist Style<\/a><\/em> by Ian Bogost answers this question.\u00a0 Bogost gives a brief description of the major art &#8216;eras&#8217; through history, which gives us the context of his argument.\u00a0 Basically, he displays the erratic, defiant, and unpredictable nature of art throughout its history. He continues his argument by displaying the functions of the different styles of games, how they perform, the question the games arise, how people interact with games, etc.\u00a0 Overall, he makes a solid case for his belief that gaming is an art due to its overall function.<\/p>\n<p>Human&#8217;s have a general tendency to shy-away from change and the new frontiers of concepts&#8211;especially the concept of art.\u00a0 This inability to accept new forms\/styles\/mediums as art has been a reoccurring habit of humanity as Bogost begins to display.\u00a0 Of course, there is a need to draw a line somewhere.\u00a0 We can&#8217;t just say that that any object is art. Or can we? What the concept of art incorporates, and what it does not, is a tricky question to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>Gaming is not the only new art frontier that has been having trouble acquiring the title of &#8216;art&#8217; in recent times.\u00a0 Graffiti has also encountered the same issues.\u00a0 It seems that certain people have trouble seeing art in certain forms of self-expression, because they do not understand the media or are culturally opposed it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People are always questioning what art is and what it is not.\u00a0 Gaming has become a new source of debate; is game making an art?
