Chapter 1 coments

After Reading chapter one of Digital Art by Christine Paul it is obvious that she thinks that digital art is the way of the future, meaning that all arts will eventually become in some way or another digital. Chapter one goes on to talk about how digital art is being used now and what effects it has had on the artistic world today. Paul talks about the creation of a "hyper real" environment, meaning using digital imagery and digital functions to create and envionment which is completely done by transforming images on the computer. I think that from reading this first chapter i gained a lot of new knowledge about what is being done with digital art, and how digital art can be used in a fine arts aspect. Personally, i think that digital art is defiantly another sub- category of fine art. Though you do not use the same tools, as you would say if you were painting of drawing, the computer is a similar tool, just the computer allows you to so things that previously were possible by working with a paint brush, pen or pencil.
