ART 121 commentary


How has digital media affected your life?

Digital media has impacted my life by reading newspaper articles online, checking my email, or facebook. The biggest time I use the internet is when I need to research for things for my classes. I have never been a computer person. I rarely go on to "surf" the web because I do not have time to do so. After taking this class I have been exposed to different art programs I did not even know existed because I do not even have a mac computer. Everything I learned was new. Every shortcut I had to memorize because it was shorter than going up to the menu and clicking. I never really took the time to stop and think how much digital media is around me all the time. Most posters and photos are made using the programs I just learned about.

How do you anticipate it will help you in the future?

I am going to be a teacher and instead if having to buy elaborate posters, I have learned how to make them using the softwares. I plan to incorporate digital media in my classroom since everything is going to a digital world. Children probably already know more than me and using it in the classroom will cater to my needs.
