Digital Art... Real art?

To create this wonderful image I have used artpad.com as it is a program which allows you to explore a variety features to create a splendid artwork like this.

The features which I most appreciate on this program are the blotching technique which allows you to create abstract artwork. As well as this the paint brush tool which allows you to determine the size of the tool you wish to use.

However what I don't like about this program is the fact that there isn't many features which an individual can explore.

Is digital art a valid form of art?
Digital art is considered an original form of art as it is created through an individuals mind with originality. If the support of digital art is used it does not mean that the creators ideas presented are not creative enough to be considered as art. Also art does not always involve getting your hands dirty it could simply just mean presenting creative ideas as a different form!

What are some of the advantages that digital paint and draw programs offer over the traditional methods?
  • You don't need to get your hands dirty with paint or pastels. \
  • You are able to modify an error through digital form as opposed to canvas form.
  • Perfection is something which can be obtained at an easier level.
  • Getting a variety of options with colour, effects and stamps are also available.
What skills must a digital artist possess to create great digital art?
A digital artist is required to have at least basic knowledge of the program they wish to use.  As well as this they should know the potential of a variety of tools as well some experience in the field.
