Since the beginning of time humans have been yearning to create. The argument has been made that the domestication of animals was primarily to give humans a chance for recreation, and with the progression of man came the age of art. From paintings on cave walls, to canvases, to sculptures and then photography. The modern age has offered, for the first time, a combination of newer modern technologies, becoming what is known as Multimedia art. Multimedia Art uses the elements of past inventions, including video and audio editing to create what is nothing short of art that expresses humanity itself. Formally, it is known as combining multiple types of art together into one piece. In this class we’re going to focus on the modern equivalent of that with computer programs like photoshop.
My experience with photoshop was mainly one of surprise. I didn’t realize how smoothly the program would run. It could do things that I didn’t know it could, like retouching or the generative fill, adjusting the tone, colors, and contrast. I am curious to know how artificial intelligence has evolved to be able to accomplish such things. I am familiar with digital drawing so many of the components were similar, like working with layers. I spent a lot of time playing around with the features and was amazed by its capabilities. It really is an impressive program and I can easily see how the many types of tools allow for people to combine different art techniques to make Multimedia Art.
This last semester I hope to be able to learn all of the tools on photoshop. Also, I’d find it really interesting to be able to dig deeper into the morals, origins, and thoughts about artificial intelligence in the art world. I wonder if people worry about its growing use. I think that learning photoshop more deeply would be a valuable tool to better my own photos while also developing my technical skills. If there’s a chance I’m also interested in video editing as well as photo editing.
