When it comes to art, the introduction of technology into this creative world has only served to make it better. With social media and digital media playing a big role in the world today it is not surprising that youngsters today consider social media is the next form of art and when you think about it, it is true. Mixed media art is representative of the new form of art that has come to be part of our life and it uses things like graphics, digital art, animation. Three dimensional modelling, robotics and other computer related technology. In essence, new media art can be defined as art that is made using new media.
That is why, the next time you are listing out different types of artistic media that define our world, do include these too. We cannot really blame you for classifying hyper-realistic oil paintings as new media art as they do have that unrealistically detailed work on them.
Here Are Some Aspects Of New Media Art That Will Make You Glad For The Presence Of This New Medium:
You can mix the past and the present: When you are trying to interest the younger generation in the historical aspects of our lives, it makes sense to work on presenting these to them in an intriguing manner. The mix of past and present is an easy thing to do when you use new media art. What is more, new media art is also a safe way of taking delicate works of art that cannot be moved or touched and present it to the youngsters of today in such a way that they can learn about them and enjoy the process.
It can make for interesting presentations: When you are in the process of taking art and using it in a presentation. In fact, any presentation that people are working on and that has creative aspects can be made very appealing and interesting with the use of new media art. When creative people have access to new media art, there is a new dimension that comes about, as creative imagination can easily be transformed into works of art using new media art.
New media can use several modes of art: This may have occurred to you that what if a particular form of art like for example a sculpture also has sound in it or if a painting also had some movement about it. This is something that is very much possible with new media art where one aspect of art can be mingled with another. You can make any scene come alive and make it three dimensional with the use of new media art.
The fact is that the artistic world is something that is never going to be dynamic and is constantly changing, evolving and expanding to take new things in. That is why it is no surprise to know that technology has entered this arena to add muscles to creativity and make it even better if that is possible. But when you think about it, you will realize that creativity is something that in some instances becomes even better and produces great results when technology empowers it.
Does it not make sense to use this incredible tool of new media art to breathe life into what could be a subject that is not that interesting? After all, art is about using the elements of the past and making it interesting to the newer generations using technology. This could be a way of moving forward and making the art world both bigger and smaller at the same time.
These artworks stimulated me. They pushed me out of my box. I am ready to paint and push the envelope
Thanks for these varied works of art.
