In recent history technology has really changed the way we perceive things and has had a huge impact in art. It has paved the way for new techniques never seen before and given artist abilities they could never have used before. If you look at the development of art over the years, there have been many ground-breaking changes throughout the times. Technology is one of these revolutionary changes and traditionalist are simply trying to hard to preserve the “standard” and “traditional” ways of creating art.

However, with technology comes the ability to cheat in a sense, some may say that it has made art creation easier. Are you creating the art or is the computer creating the art? These days it seems anyone can get access to a computer and draw away. Despite these criticisms I still believe that art should be evolving just like we are, along with the technology.

A long time ago paint was the new revolution which changed the face of art, now we just see it as a basic and standard utensil of artwork. The same goes for technology. Despite the fact people may see technology as an enemy of art, the relevance and importance of traditional medias still lingers. This is seen in the thriving usage of these techniques and even in the replication of these effects in technology. Technology has allowed us to really experiment more and do things such as layering and editing, we should be excepting technology and really taking full advantage of it.
