This week while using photo editing tools I did not use the
cloud except to download the new toll that I really do like. I downloaded
Picasa, from Google.com after that I only used the cloud to upload these photos
to the class Wiki. I think that these sorts of tools that are free to use will
help the art world. Why you may ask? Well because being that they are free I believe
that these tools give, younger and maybe financially unstable people, a way to
easily express their ideas and an easy way to do it. After all art is a way to
express yourself. I think that these tools are awesome and if you had better knowledge
of what each thing does it could be awesome for someone to use them to turn a
buck or two. I heard that on TV once… anyway I do not think these kinds of
tools will just “create more ‘noise” in the art community; it may just create
more competition. I like them and don't consider myself an artist, but do like
to use them. Well that is my blurt for the week see you all on Tuesday night.
Hello this is Rachael,one of the students in the CCV class and I am going to try to post a comment this time around, so here is my comment about this weeks blog about the cloud.
ReplyDeleteI think your idea on using the tools is great because I also try to use the tools for creating my work on the computer and some of the tools out there are very helpful, and can be very useful to those that already have a sense of how to use them.From Rachael RLR
I definitely agree with you when you say that this will create more competition, as more and more people find out about these tools you will find a growing number of people calling themselves artists. with all these artists competition to get there art sold is sure to be high. Also, like you, I wouldn't call myself an artist, thought i would more or less just to use a pencil and paper when i draw.
