In the world of new technology and fancy computer programs, art has stepped up to a whole new level. Sure there are still a huge percentage of art pieces being done the classical ways of paint, pastels, pencils, you name it. However, new media has expanded into the vast usage of high-tech computer equipment to make masterpieces from digital photographs or from straight scratch in programs like paint. This is known as digital art, and it has become quite popular over the past decade. It is applied while still using the same basic aspects of art; shape, line, form, etc., while incorporating abstract ideas to create an interesting piece. With programs such as Photoshop, the premier photo editing program out there, we are able to take a snapshot or a photograph on a digital camera, load them onto a computer and onto Photoshop. Then do things such as change colors, edit objects out, edit objects in, add shadow, whatever. It's really quite amazing what you're able to do to a digital pitcure with a few clicks of the mouse here and there. Digital art allows for photographs to be clear, precise, sharp, and reallllly good looking... uh hem, like me. ;)
