A website where you can "draw" with your mouse. This is very addictive! Much more relaxing to 'draw' on here mindlessly than come up with an idea for a drawing or painting!

This is just a generic link to information about the different Bamboo Drawing Tablets Wacom has available. There are specific functions for each one. I have been using this for my design projects and it is really cool! It hooks right up to the computer,othr s ee is no more having to scan and send your art.

(Please watch the informational video on page) Website showing the 'Cintiq Pen'. A tablet-like device that merges an LCD computer screen with a drawing tablet. With the Cintiq pen, you can draw directly on the screen.

I just thought this was too much fun not to share! Another interactive online drawing website!

This is a link to a scholarly paper about the dance.draw program from UNC Charlotte. This work is supported by an NSF CreativeIT Award#IIS-0855882 grant. The program is a marriage of technology and dance. The dancers are tracked by cameras or gyro devices that they carry on their person. The software then uses the dancers information to change display information behind the stage and or modify audible information. http://dancedraw.uncc.edu/DanceDraw/Dance.Draw.html

This is really intriguing. I have longed to do something like this with music, translating scores into visual images, so that you see patterns, colors and textures. I haven't read the paper yet, but I will. Also, I find it interesting that this is happening at UNCC. I have a house in Charlotte. I am only temporally in Memphis. Over the years I have done a lot of work with UNCC, and I know several people in the dance department, but I had not heard about this project.

For all their benefits BIM and 3D printing could lead to lazier architecture, warns Russell Curtis.

This is a great list of apps for iPad users in the art world.

Article about artist David Hockney who has embraced technology and created new art work using Ipad Drawing and Quantel Paintbox(electronic paintbox).

This is so cool you have to take a look and view 1:06min video clip. The pen is $75 it draws in thin air. It reminds me of a glue gun.

The MoMa Art Lab app for your iPad. You can create sounds, shapes, poems and drawings to share and save. You can also learn about featured art at the MoMa.

I found this interesting because it draws the connection between art, science and tech. Especially the first two are typically seen as such unrelated disciplines. Yet there is so much art in science and so much science in art. The correlation between the three disciplines is something that I would like to explore further.

An exploration into the 2016 series "Westworld." This published review draws parallels between the android "hosts" and "guests" featured on the show, and the class system and current political climate of the US. The idea of robot sentience, or "awakening" is used as an allegory to our own social awareness. I should add a minor spoiler warning, for those who haven't watched yet (but intend to).

The arts organizations represented in the survey tend to agree with the notions that the internet and social media have "increased engagement" and made art a more participatory experience, and that they have helped make "arts audiences more diverse." They also tend to agree that the internet has "played a major role in broadening the boundaries of what is considered art."

100 Louvre masterpieces in your pocket. The selection of museum must-sees now features Greek sculptures, paintings by Bosch, Titian, Raphael, Holbein, and Cranach, and a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci..." One of the cool finds from this list! Thanks!
