The Age of Digital Art. 
No longer is art derived only canvas and paper pads. With the increase in technology, there has been an increase in digitally crafted art. With tablets (shown below), art is created for video games, movies, advertisements, etc. In my opinion, the art created on these devices is not the only type of art. The device itself is a work of art too. Companies such as Wacom have been evolving their creations and technologies to advance the art they output.

C for Creativity

Present work by Chuck Close:


Past work by Chuck Close:


Chuck Close's style has changed dramatically between his pre and post paralysis, but his methods are still the same. He grids his pictures so that he can paint in small squares. The work shown directly above was done before Chuck Close's health issues. After he became paralyzed, he made his grids a lot larger and a lot more abstract which is completely different then his earlier realist works.


Such creative methods allowed Chuck Close to have such an accomplished career. His audiences have always been wildly fascinated with him and his works.
