You replied to someone's question about computer art, and said how digital drawing is cheating and that you should use paper and pencil.

Digital art is NOT cheating. It is as difficult, and may be even more difficult than using traditional mediums. You obviously know NOTHING about what kinds of art there are. Maybe you just don't know how to do it.

Despise it if you want, but ALOT of great artists use digital mediums, and now that technology is taking over, it will be one of the more commonly used. Have you ever taken a look at deviantart? A great majority of the most talented artists on the site use digital mediums, and whether or not it's because they don't have something to be able to scan their paints or sketches, it still shows that they have alot of talent, and you need talent and patience especially if you're only using a mouse.

So you know NOTHING about art, and don't act as if you do.

And by the way, your sarcasm is lame. D< It's like trying to be sarcastic and crude, but failing and only looking obnoxious. (link)
Well, let's justs ignore the fact of how I'm minoring in "ART" and let's not consider the fact that contemporary art is the most greatest thing in the world, and also, the fact that you're an idiot, so we can have this stupid arguement. Also, normally, I would delete or "reject" this type of stupid messeges, but this would be fun, since I am limiting myself from what I can use... and stil beat you, anonymous person.

Digital art is what I consider as cheating art, for the fact that anyone is able to do it. But art is something you can't just see, and understand immediately. For example, Jackson Pollock's "Number 1 1950" shows you at first what normal idiots (like you) would think as "crap" However, if you look deep into the art, it shows you strokes and strokes and strokes, all differnt, and has a strong feeling and violence in them. In addition to seeing what's there on the canvas, it allows you to imagine the actual creation of the piece, like him(Jackson Pollock) standing there, violently splattering paint all over it. It's called "abstract expressionism". This is one of the greatest thing in modern art, that you will never see, in digital art. Hence, I call it cheating. I don't like the art much. It's only good to entertain, those who watches films and whatnot. Jackson Pollock shows in his paintings, an abstract expression of a physical, emotional act. In a way, the painting stands in as a performance piece. It's the greatest thing you'll ever see, if YOU yourself even know what true art is..

"You obviously know NOTHING about what kinds of art there are. Maybe you just don't know how to do it."
I am going to say the exact same thing back to you, you anonymous asshole. At least be brave enough to leave your name.

and you said....

well, to things to say to you...
1) If so many, name 100 artists, using "digital mediums" and "technology" that you're talking about. And if you know so much, EXPLAIN the technology they use, specifically.
2) VAN GOGH and Piccasso can still kick those guy's ass together. Van Gogh had cut his own ear for art. Can those "a lot of great artist" do that, to make THEIR art perfect? I think not. No one can be so devoted to art, as Van Gogh.

NEVER send me a stupid messege EVER about art. YOU'RE the one who knows NOTHING of art.

"And by the way, your sarcasm is lame. D< It's like trying to be sarcastic and crude, but failing and only looking obnoxious."
Kindda like you. Except I'm more honest, and much more intellegent than you. Also, what the hell is "D

Okay, first of all, I very much so admire traditonal art. But people don't exactly know why Van Gogh cut off his ear, although there are many explanations, he didn't actually USE his ear and stuck it on one of his paintings though. He was just crazy, although I do admire his art and the genius of ideas he kept secret. I wasn't criticizing traditional art. I have no preference, I think both digital and traditional art is great, but I was criticizing the fact that you degrade digital art as if it meant nothing, and meant nothing to the artist or no effort, as if something done on Corel Painter is so much less than something slaved over by Michaelangelo, even if the artist took as much time as Michaelangelo did, and even if it actually LOOKED good. So thanks for showing the world how biased and arrogant you are. Hurrah.
