Essay: Technology changes how art is created and percieved
This essay talks about how much technology is changing art. It states that years ago there was one author to a book, a director to a movie, and an artist to a art pieces. Now that has changed because of technology. Pop art such as Warhol, Lichtenstein used technology to alter their color in their images. They continued to state that anyone could take a piece of work and alter it and call it their own making technology a negative aspect to art. Although this article views technology as a negative aspect, in the classroom incorporating technology could enhance the lesson and classroom as a whole. The article states, "In such a world, art may still exist, but we won't always know exactly where to find it, which can be a scary prospect." As long as the students realize what the point of using or having the technology is there will be a positive outcome. As teachers you could even assign the students to take a piece of work off the internet and alter to show exactly what this article is talking about.

This article to me is definitely something that is misinterpreting digital art and media because the point of it is not to be negative. As art teachers, we need to teach our students that although digital art can be creative and enhance previous works, it is not something that needs to take over manual art making that has been around for so long. The two need to go hand-in-hand, not as enemies. Digital art is not there to take over the original way of making art, it is just something to add to it and make art part of this technological generation we now live in.
