Artwork in the Digital Age
Digital art refers to any artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. It can also refer to computational art that uses and engages with digital media. Since the 1960s, various names have been used to describe digital art, including computer art, electronic art, multimedia art and new media art.
Subcategories for the art include digital painting, where artists use software to emulate techniques using in physical painting, digital illustration, which involves creating rendered images for other media, and 3D modeling, where artists craft three-dimensional objects and scenes.
Sources for digital art include pieces stored on physical media, galleries on display on websites, and collections for download for free or purchase.

According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:
“In order to be a true digital artist, you must learn the same types of skills to perform digital artwork that you would for traditional artwork”. Digital art requires serious creative skill, though it might not involve physical materials.

Artwork Brings Imagination to Life
If you had to sit in a room with nothing but blank walls or stare into a dark tunnel would you be inspired? Since the dawn of time, the environment around us has wired the human brain to be inspired by what is all around us. It gives us the catalyst to appreciate and expand our imaginations and creativity. Art is an expression of our imaginations that is realized in a tangible form. It challenges our minds to think beyond what is familiar and obviously real – to “think outside the box”, so to speak, and as a result anything is possible. Since each of us has a unique and different outlook on our environment, we are surrounded by creative people who have pushed the boundaries of art and design. It creates a more colorful and innovative world in which to live.
Imagination increases our cognitive, creative and social skills. We explore our feelings and thoughts more in depth and we learn how to creatively solve problems. Children start from a very young age to learn this concept. Art is a genuine gift to the world which helps us to understand it and gives it meaning.
So, whatever type of artistic ability you have, continue to inspire people with your artwork. It plays a very vital role in our lives.
