It is no doubt that technology is a turning point of art development in the art history. It made the form of art became more diversification and popularize which make every stratum can have a chance to find out more about art. However, there is problems happening after technology influenced art.

Because of the convenience of communicate on the internet, art work can be spread out very wide and fast which is great for artist but also lead copying problems at the same time. Copyright has been protected by the law but the problem still existed. Example of it would be the first logo design for the Tokyo Olympic 2020 was accusations of plagiarism (2015). The logo that was blamed as plagiarism was replaced very soon after that. The second down side would be the electronic of art, it is nothing wrong about developing art into a digital way as I have said in the beginning of this article, digital art such as digital drawing can make editing become more easily and faster yet this may cause a risk that forcing artist not to use traditional art supplies. I think it is always very important to work with materials in a manual way which can build up a foundation knowledge of creativity.

Overall, I agree that technology is an important developmental milestone but at the same time, knowing how important is respecting others’ work and paying attention to tradition way of making art is an issue for all the contemporary practitioner.
