Digital Artists

One good way to make interesting art is to check out what other artists are doing. You might be surprised about some really good ideas you can borrow and make your own that you might not have thought about before.

Cory Arcangel uses pop music and Nintendo games to create digital art.
This is one of Cory's pieces based on Super Mario Bros. This one is based on a car racing game.

Other digital artist Like Marisa Olson and Abe Linkoln did a project together called Abe and MO Sing the Blogs.

Joel Swanson developed a story called Fat Simon. (You will probably have to allow pop-up windows for this to work. If you don't get a prompt asking you to allow pop-ups, click on the name of your browser (Firefox) then Preferences, then under the Content tab uncheck "block pop-up windows").

Take some time and explore the site Techne Studio. You also need to explore the Whitney Artport site. Your homework for Wednesday July 11 is to look at the art on these sites and post a blog entry describing why you like or dislike the digital art you see and create a link to something specific you responded to.
