Is Digital Art Real Art? Hmmm...

Well here are some definitions of art:

• the products of human creativity
• the creation of beautiful or significant things

is digital art a valid form of art? i have no idea! well, you have some creepy people who say that photos of naked kids is art but that's just them. on one hand digital art is still technically art because it's a product of human creativity and it's also the creation of something beautiful. it can have a meaning, theme and other random stuff art is supposed to have. on the other hand it's kind of cheating because in some programmes there are certain icons/pictures downloaded on it, and all you have to do click on where you want it to go. there are also artists who draw it by hand and scan it onto thier computer to digitalise it.

i don't really know if there are any advantages to using digital paint and draw programmes. some people can't draw so they probably think that it's easier to use these programmes because of the pre-programmed icons/pictures that you can alter with a click of a button. i think that to us people who totally suck at using the computer even for basic stuff, that the programmes are frustrating because you can't get the computer to do the things you want it to do. (i tend to just give up and do it by hand because it's easier). when you use the paint and draw programmes it's easier to erase any mistakes you make but if you are using paint and canvas you can't just erase it because it's almost, maybe, basically permanent. wait that's an advantage so i guess that there is an advantage.
here are some cool artworks i found on google and sticking with the theme of digital they are all digital.








to be a digital artist you don't really need any special skills just creativity and some good software. the hardest part is learning how to use the software. some people believe that graphic programmes are destroying traditional art skills, because by using graphics software use don't need any painting or sketching skills. people who use these graphics softwares are saying that this is another case of technophobia.
Some artists just draw it by hand and scan it onto thier computer to digitalise.
people who are digital artists sometimes take classes in painting and sketching to improve thier artistic skills (whatever there are these days). For example,
a man named Joel Mongeon, who is a digital artist, wanted to "hone" (improve) his skills so he took up some painting and sketching classes at his university.
