Q. Is digital art a valid form of art?'

Digital Media is a valid as art is a process or product of deliberatly arranging elements in a way that appeals to emotions and senses. Digital is also a form of art because you can still express yoru emotions and you can still be creative and imaginative.

Q. What are some of the advantages that digital paint and draw programs offer over the traditional mathods (canvas and paint).

There are many advantes of this program as it allwos you to undo or change things you have already done, whereas when you are painting of canvas you have to either start again, covers the mistake or rub it out (which sometimes leaves a mark).

Some other advantages of this program include;

- not using the material physically.

- doesn't leave a mess as you make the painting on the computer and print it off.

Q. What skills must a digital artist possess to create digital art?

The only skills a digital artist must have to create a digital art, are to know how to use the program and how to use the computer.
