Digital Art
Digital art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. Digital art is contemporary art that uses the methods of mass production or digital media. Digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art. Digital Visual Art consists of either 2D or 3D. 2D computer graphics are the easiest, representing how a pencil and a piece of paper can be used to draw. However, in this situation, the photo is on the computer screen and a tablet stylus or a mouse may be the tool you draw with. The second form is 3D computer graphics, where the screen becomes a virtual environment window, where you arrange for the computer as "photographed" objects. 3-D objects and scenes for use in various media such as film, television, print, rapid prototyping, games/simulations, and special visual effects.
Digital art technologies are frequently used in advertising by the mainstream media and by filmmakers to create visual effects. Graphic design is a creative, professional, and academic discipline whose practice consists of the projection of visual communications designed to communicate specific messages with specific goals to social groups.
Movies make heavy use of computer-generated graphics. They are called computer-generated imagery (CGI). In the 1990s, and early 2000s CGI advanced enough so that for the first time it was possible to create realistic 3D computer animation, although films had been using extensive computer images since the mid-70s. Many modern films have been noted for their heavy use of photorealistic CGI.

The traditionalists in the Visual arts have still not fully embraced digital arts as a main culture of visual arts. They still continue to romanticize the Modern art era. What is your opinion on this? If you are an artist, have you ever explored the domain of digital art?
