Hmmm...




In today’s world graphic design is everywhere, and I think much of where it is going it looking great. The computer is opening amazing doors to what we as artists can do and what kinds of imagery we can produce. More importantly, computers allow for new ways for art to be shared. It is easier than ever for us to share our own work and find influences by viewing others work.
The question is- does this take away from fine arts? Will painting suffer??
My answer is no!! When photography came around in the 1800’s people though that is would change the art world- that it would be the end of painting… obviously they were wrong. In fact I believe photography gave painting the momentum it needed to push it away from a way to just document the world around us- to a true way of expression and conceptual exploration.
So if we look at what graphic arts do for the art world- who knows what it will push painting to become…
