DIGITAL ART

Computer technology is changing how we communicate, how we learn, and even how we express ourselves. Art will always be an important vehicle for understanding how we communicate, how we learn and of course how we express ourselves. Through the centuries art has always adapted to changing times and emerging technologies. From Drawing to photography and now to computers, the ways in which art is made will always change.
