Why were weaving and embroidery not accepted forms of art until recently?

That is because critics and academics are rarely open to new ideas and expanding the understanding of art. Similar thing was about movies when they first started appearing, and also about comic books. There are many critics who would still not accept these, or weaving as forms of art, but it's a never-ending expanding list and soon even video games might be considered art.

Monophony monophony means music with a single "part" and a "part" typically means a single vocal melody, but it could mean a single melody on an instrument of one kind or another.( just a short note ) : )hope it
