Hello! What do you need to make art? The “aha” moment, when you know that, is pure joy.
When using tech to make art, the choices are many. You can pick your colors and effects on a display, or you can use a computer aided device to create those effects on canvas.
Whilst in college I used to teach art classes, and my students were visually challenged. One of my older kids came to class one day, and wanted to draw on paper. They took a sheet, and a marker, and drew a single point. I asked them what they had drawn. They had just hit their arm into a sharp corner, and “this” was what it felt like.
Next, we used a computer aided spray gun to make lots of those points on paper, and with a layering effect. This time, the kid could actually feel around the paper for those sharp points.
The next day, this kid came to class and we painted by hand, lots of sharp dots in a pattern using paint, glitter, glue, and let it dry. I asked them about their piece, and I learnt that they had tried to mimic a mother-board! They had been helping their dad with their home computer and had felt around the mother-board. “Lots of sharp points”, was what they wanted to draw.
In the first instance, tech was just a tool. The next day, however, it turned into inspiration- inspiration to know what you want to make art with!
So, what do you see tech as? A tool? Or inspiration? I’d love to know! And I’ll also see you soon.
G’Bye,
Gaurvi.
