Who win the battle?

Both of them win the battle.

Because compare them is not a good idea.
We better consider them as two different medium to perform an art.

For long term development, I think what people should do is not to depreciate anyone of them, and to accept both of them, moreover, to mix them together like the "Starry Night" video.

Enjoy making traditional art and digital art, find out the possibility of both of them.

And you will find out that art can be so great and interesting.

Do you think digital art can be as valuable as the traditional art?

Instead of compare the technique used in making the art.

The idea behind the artworks are more important.



Abstract art is a good example.

For example, the artworks of Piet Mondrian.

http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/mondrian/comp-10.jpg
Composition No. 10. 1939-42. Piet Mondrian. Oil on canvas



This is an artwork that seems to be simple and can be made by a computer program easily.
How about the idea behind? Can it be produced easily?
What made this artwork so great is not the technique included.
It is the idea and the concept.

For digital art, I think we also need to have this kind of thought.
Not only appreciate its form, moreover, to appreciate its representation.

So, Digital can be as valuable as a traditional art.
