Intro to Digital Art: Reading Response

In the Introduction to Digital Art, I loved how the author describes the "digital revolution" to be more than just about art. It's about connectivity, which I think is a great aspect to add to your art - especially if it is placed on the Internet for all to see. I personally believe that this idea of an infinite amount of viewers really enables and actually forces the artist to take their work to the next level, taking their thought-process to a whole new level of consideration. 

Beyond just thinking about their process and meaning a little deeper, artists are also able to mix media. Our technology now makes this especially easy and high in quality. For instance, painters can scan their paintings to create a digital file of their work that can even be in very high resolution, almost life-like, keeping the piece true to its original created form. At this point, they can take their image into any of the programs in the Adobe Design Suite and add layers upon layers to their painting. They can bring it to life in a whole new way. They can change the colors, they can animate their 2D still image. The possibilities, I feel, are endless to what you can learn and create and this is very exciting.
