We're reading about modernism in our digital civilization class right now and something that seems to be a less prominent topic but consistently influential is the affect that art had on the period. We see many artists of the period come out with abstract forms of art such as Picasso using abstract geometric forms, Wyndham Lewis with his use of motion and change, and Kandinsky creating paintings with bold colors, lines and shapes. A similar movement in art seems to be evolving with the growth of our digital culture.
This blog I found talks about ways that old art pieces are being expressed and enhanced digitally.
There is so much being done digitally with art these days that it would be hard to keep up with it all. I don't profess to be any expert in art either but it fascinates me how it has almost become necessary for anyone in an art field to become proficient with digital tools to further their art careers. The other day I met a man who had been an illustrator for most of his life, but said it was harder and harder for him to find work anywhere as an artist. The big fields are now in graphic design. Art is going to a whole new level, but its not leaving behind any of the evolution it has been through already. Most of what is happening now is building off what has already been done.
This link is a YouTube video of a few things that graphic artists can do with a little imagination.
Great post! I like the picture you chose. Graphic design is becoming more prominent. Isn't interesting that we always have to be learning and reworking the wheel, like the man you talked about in your blog. He is an illustrator but now he has to work his skills into a computer generation(and learn computer skills, like grahic design) in order to make money.
