The subjects of art and technology have generally not been thought of as being integrated into the same units but in recent years the technological advances have made these two subjects inseperable. Many of todays programs have made it possible to be as or more creative in the process of making art by offering great freedom in the tools that are available. Some beleive that by using computers or technology an artist is not “hnd making their art work. To this mindframe I must disagree and argue that it is in the nature and in the history of artist to be on the cutting edge of tools avialble to them. I wrote my paper to show how technology can be intergrated into the cirriculum and that is because I feel it is very important that students have the opprotunites that they deserve to use tools that are of their era and interest. I have had great fun in producing art that is generated by using computer programs and believe that is it just as creative, thought provoking and can convey messages as well as any type of art.
