Digital Art: Real Art?
Is Digital Art Real Art?
What do you think? Is art made on a computer real art? Some people say yes. Other people say no.
What is art? Art is when someone makes something new. It can be a picture. It can be a song. It can be a sculpture.
Digital art is made using a computer. You can draw on a tablet. You can make music with special programs. You can even make sculptures using computer programs!
Some people think digital art is not real art. They say it is too easy. They say it does not take as much skill as painting or drawing.
But other people think digital art is real art. They say it takes just as much skill. You still need to be creative. You still need to learn how to use the tools.
I think digital art is real art. It lets people make new things. It lets them share their ideas. And that is what art is all about!
