Art Online
“Art online” can refer to many different things.
For general internet browsers, the term is often used to find artworks
that satisfy interior design needs. Prints of famous oil paintings as
well as original work from lesser known artists are common purchases.
For other people, the concept of art online is more about creating
art through online mediums. While web design is more commonly used for
commercial pursuits, some art sites are focused more on being an interactive
experience. Net.art and net-art are other terms for this sort of Internet
creation.
The ability to create and share art online has created community opportunities
that were previously never possible. For instance, an artist in Canada
can easily collaborate and interact with another artist in Japan. Also,
while an individual’s aesthetics may not fit in with their immediate
culture, they can now build a supportive audience of people all over
the world.
