What role does technology play in your creative process?
Technology plays a major role. About 90% of my work is done on computer programs such as Photoshop, which is crucial in giving more life to my characters, and designing my "fake movie posters".
I graduated from the Ohio Institute of Photography, and spent many years as a traditional technical Illustrator at O'Neil and Associates in Dayton, Ohio and was planning on a BS Mechanical Engineering degree at Purdue. So, I come from a fairly technical background. I use my photographic experience as a tool for "capturing" a scene or idea and giving me the ability to work at a later time by viewing the unaltered photo, at a distance, pinned to a wall of my studio. This facilitates my ability to recall what I noticed and felt when I was at the original location. In regards to this specific question: I believe that "creative process" is a gift and skill. And even though I do use technical programs and techniques for other graphic art I am responsible for such as advertising, web design and marketing graphics, but I do not use technology, or feel it is appropriate, within a "fine Art" medium such as watercolors.
i only use my laptop to look for a picture if i wanna draw a famous person, thats the only technology i use for that
Writing: I started out when I was young, on a manual typewriter. Upgrading eventually to a Netbook. I love its portability. It's not always with me, but I strive to always have a pen & notebook with me at all times.
Photography: Sometimes you can't capture the lighting properly, etc. Rather than throw an idea away, I may digitally process the image.
An example: If I have seen the same (or similar) scene with the Credit River as a beautiful flowing dream of blue, and I photograph during a rainy week (thus turning the blue into murky waters), I will revert to various photographs that show the blue. Some paintings are amalgamations of various photographs of one scene.
If the lighting is enhanced beyond reality - and your brain detects this quickly - then the image can be used for a fantasy scene. I have upcoming projects that will use amalgamations of various scenes (writing and painting).
Painting: the use of a point & shoot, and as of recent, a DSLR, has made my life easier, as I need reference photos to paint. Also, with so many videos on techniques, you can learn so much, even if you don't have time to attend a course in person.   | | |
GOOGLE! the internet has connected me to people in Mexico city and has brought us together into being from the same crew. It's crazy the connection we have now. I can find pictures of stuff my friends did back in Cali just by searching thier names on the internet, its amazing. Also writers are using programs to further thier graffiti styles like Windows Paint, CAD3d, Skecthup, Photoshop and others. My crew runs a low-art graff site voltaseven.com. Are stlyes are dirty, we paint in abandon buildings and underground tunnels, but because of the internet, you can see our stuff around the world.
Technology is a method for delivering the creative process. It is not the creative process unto itself.
High quality camera equipment and hi-end computer software are always used to ensure the final image is the best quality it possibly can be, whilst ensuring the picture can be printed at large sizes on canvas and acrylic.
you know, in this era technology its pretty much indispensable, i use it daily, either creating artwork or looking in the internet for what humanity can give me.
in short words technology is quite important in my life and it is one new way to create art, and appreciate other people art.
In preparation I sometimes use Art Rage on a PC Tablet, or Brushes APP on an iPad.
It just supplies information and allows me to market my work.
Encaustic painting is an ancient process, but in this day and age calls for a lot of technological equipment: my studio is filled with crockpots, buffet warmers, torches and heat guns, irons, carving tools, brushes and anything else i can find secondhand. I love the alchemy of creating art with beeswax, resin and pigment and the experimental nature of making my own paint to do it.
beyond a pencil and paper very little
technology help me to found some new idea for my arts
Technology has been faster and less costly in the way of research and gathering ideas then before. With the tools I am able to look at and create more work.
Not that much. I print though. |
