I know others who write without a plan. <BR/><BR/>In the end, art is art. We are left with the final piece and a computer can't ever produce that. <BR/><BR/>Chase March - Hamilton, Ontario.

Andy Warhol is well-know for running "The Factory" in which hundreds of pieces were created by an entire team, but went out with Warhol's name on them. If anything these artists are bigger cheats than the sculptor who uses computer aided drafting in pre-production, at least he personally makes the final product.skinnyswgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03502822336295325073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166579.post-44439738085073314342008-10-27T10:41:00.000-04:002008-10-27T10:41:00.000-04:00Oh, please.Obviously, any art that uses any tools ...Oh, please.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, any art that uses any tools whatsoever isn't <I>real</I> art.

As long as the final product of this artist is his own work, it is "straining at a gnat" to worry more than 1 minute over the computer assisted work. Doesn't Mr. Worthen have more important things to do besides worrying over the method an artist uses to arrive at his final product? Does Mr. Worthen use a computer to write his stories rather than an electric typewriter? No, because he uses modern methods to arrive at his story. Ditto, this is the way the artist arrives at his final product.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
