It seems to me that other mediums are dying out. Such as paintings and sculptures. Who says I want to become a painter (beyond hobby)? Or a sculptor?
Who can appreciate a painting (besides academics or q very small niche of people)?
There are some techniques that have gone basically extinct such as wood engraving (look at Gustavo Dore illustrations of Divine Comedy or Quijote for reference).
Do you think these mediums will ever come back or will stay as they are now?
I agree that there has been a decline in the art forms you mention, but so what? It’s largely due to the progressive nature of technology. No one writes on papyrus or wax tablets any more, either.
