The reading discusses the comparison between New Media in modern-day and traditional practices. While reading, I believe that New Media does advance the conventional style of art better and has many benefits. Personally, I started illustrations using the traditional method with pencil and paper. The traditional method is a great way to start off and lower the barrier to entry. However, after swapping to digital illustrations, I was given more options and tools to help create illustrations. I remember the passage talking about how New Media is similar, but also different to cinema and that you can tell stories. New Media and cinema have similar features, however, New Media introduces more tools that can help customize the viewing experience. I think the idea can also be said about traditional and digital art and that traditional art is all in one take and you work with limited tools. Digital art has more tools, you won’t have to worry about making a mistake, and many user-generated tools can help us develop our skills even further. The internet also spreads fast so your artwork can reach people from around the world. I also respect software engineers because of how they can create applications and software to help other artists create things they love. New Media gives users more options and does not have to go on a linear path to create something. when I want to create a background in traditional art, I need to start with it first. For digital, I can start with anything else like a logo or a design I like, and then pick a color I like. If I do not like the color, I can always change it to my liking. New Media is a tool that can help us and I believe that many artists can benefit from tools and software to produce and develop their works faster.

Reading 1 – Vincent La
The article “How to Be an Artist: 33 Rules” by Jerry Saltz gives us a brief idea of what an artist thinks, how to improve, and many ways to approach art. As an illustrator for a hobby, I agree with many of Saltz’s comments about artists and how they develop over time. I believe that art is a long process of development and that you are never “good” at it. The more you try to draw/create art, the more you will develop the necessary skills to understand the art process. I remember reading a lesson from Saltz that you can learn how to become a great artist and what to look for, but you need to put in the effort to start an artwork to develop those skills. 5 years ago, I started illustrating as a hobby and drew badly because I did not understand shading, anatomy, color theory, and fundamentals. The more I drew, the more I understood what I was doing wrong and fixed those mistakes. I looked back at my old illustrators and I noticed the small mistakes that I did not know at the time. I also agree with the lesson of creating a schedule and making room for creating art. Many artists that I have seen and heard tell amateur artists that you need to build muscle memory to create artwork and to do that, you need to draw something almost every day. You also have to learn something from your sketch and shouldn’t draw aimlessly. Artists also analyze other artists’ works and you can learn a few things from doing that. Saltz gave a lesson about people going to museums and it is a great source to gain inspiration for your next work. The more I analyzed the lessons, the more I felt like I related to the lessons. Artists who are just starting or artists who are still developing would find these lessons might help them understand art and how to proceed.
