the term "deconstruct" does NOT mean destroy. It means using the basic concepts of an art form (film, visual art, scupture, music) to take apart what makes it "art" in the first place.

That CAN NOT be done without prior knowledge of what it is you are attemtping to "deconstruct".

only specific things can be deconstructed. ART, MUSIC, etc. are concepts that encompass a totality. painting is a specific type of art, so is musical composition, so is filmaking, so is dance, etc. It is these specific things that can be deconstructed.

fucking A those 46 credit hours of art history are paying off big time!

Yes, what Rob said. You said it better than I.
