What is digital art?

In this technology-driven world we live in today, almost everything is digital. We now send letters to each other with computers. We use smartphones to communicate. We take help from social networks to post photos and videos. Just like all these activities, art has also started going digital. Younger generations have grown up with digital art, but the concept of digital art is still new to many of us.

Digital art, formerly called computer art or media art, refers to art that is created using software, computers, or other electronic devices. Anything produced or created on digital media, such as animations, photos, images, videos, digital paintings, and the like, can be classified as digital art.< /p>

To be honest, there are many debates and different opinions about whether digital art is considered real art or not. In fact, it depends on your personal definition of what art is. If by "real" you mean a physical product that was created using physical tools (such as brush, paint, paper, etc.), then I have to say no! Digital arts can only be seen and defined in their own virtual world. But this not being real does not mean that they do not exist! For example, you can print a digital drawing for yourself to turn it into a real product... At the same time, digital art can be called real art! Because it requires more or less the same techniques and creative skills that traditional art requires. Art is art and the main purpose of art is to express the feelings of the artist regardless of the tools used. Creating a good quality digital art requires the same amount of skill, talent, originality, knowledge and effort as any other traditional artwork... Every artist must learn to master the tools of their work regardless of media and technology.

Digital art has countless uses! But due to its nature, it is mostly used in commercial and media environments. These include media advertising and the production of visual graphics and animation effects in movies, video games, illustrations in fiction and science books, etc. Take a look around you right now! You will find countless images and videos that have been digitally created. Digital art can also be used to create graphic designs.
