TRADITIONAL ART FORMS IN DIGITAL AGE

The revolutionary idea of connecting various virtuosity techniques through a digital interface is already being increasingly adopted by numerous artists in many fields. These include sculptors, artists, painters, writers, designers, glass and pottery artisans, weavers, architects, and a lot more.
Using electronic devices and computer codes, digital artists are able to create their unique art-works through specific design tablets. This has enhanced their rewards in many ways - design innovation, increased access, convenience of working, instant sharing, increased productivity, wider reach and recognition among many others.

Significance:

Digitisation of Art allows the artist immense diversity and spontaneity. Experimentation with visualisation enables the blending of varied disciplines, providing multifarious planes of exploration with the components to achieve unique and imaginative outcomes. Through interactive multimedia elements, installations, and 2D (2 dimensional), 3D, or even 4 dimensional projections, plus cutting-edge concepts like virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) there is an unfathomable scope for creating and popularising masterpieces of Art with the help of technology.
Artistic traditions have kept changing and will continue to do so since creativity is a phenomenon of incessant evolution. Because unless they evolve with time, they may touch closure. Digital enhancement technology has been instrumental in keeping their journey synced with that of the human race, and there is hardly any unacceptance of this fact.
The role of digital media in promoting performing art forms has been quite miraculous. The heritage that we could have lost, never to regain has certainly been restored, primarily through the Deviating arm of electronic media.
Accepting machine-built tools for electronic artistry is not always welcomed by the masters of this arena. Reasons may be varied -age-old beliefs, traditional temperament, leek of knowledge or technical know-how, or other restraints concerning area age or education.
But there can hardly be any doubt about their being an institution in themselves -far from the maddening cities, tucked away in some peaceful corner of the world, they are invaluable preservers of some of our priceless art forms.
A quick eye now at the counter-effects in hindsight, the technical advancement has also allowed certain alchemists to push their statements on controversial and inartistic issues through this medium.
It is happening because of the absence of a filter that can prevent non-artistic experimentation with the artistic genre. Here, one cannot help but strongly feel that there is a need to specify the supportive role of digital technology instead of being generative.

Conclusion:

Discerning the insinuations thus, having a hybrid view point seems to be the key wherein human creativity remains irreplaceably in its righteous place as the core, while its enhancing effects may be supplicated through digital working. The effects of digitisation must be utilised to enhance -not create.
