Virtual Art – Is it Real?

Is it really art if it wasn’t created in 3-dimensions?   Is it any the less creative?    Creating art virtually or otherwise is all about what the minds eye can do with the tools and canvas provided.

The inset pictures a creation of pottery which I suspect many would purchase at Pier One given the opportunity.  Alas, it was created virtually with an amazing pottery creation tool on an iPad. This Halloween surprise was created by an esteemed artist using an iPad application called let’s create Pottery written by company based in Poland called Infinite Dreams.  The application is a clever combination of tools for artistically creating pottery and a community web portal that allows the sharing of the creations so that members of the community can review the works of others.

So click on the pumpkin and take a look at the 200+ original works of art brought to us by the artist who created this piece and feel free to scan the gallery of the 16,875+ creations from other artists around the world.

So is it art if it wasn’t created in 3-dimensions?  Of course it is.  Is it any less creative?  Absolutely not.  It requires the same instinct, eye, talent, dedication, expertise and mastering the available materials and tools.  See for yourself.
