10 REASONS WHY TRADITIONAL ART IS BETTER THAN DIGITAL ART
Traditional art is a real and unique art. It represents the Culture, Tradition, and Heritage of a group of people. It requires a few Traditional tools that have already existed and developed for a Longer period. In some cases, artistic skills and knowledge will be passed from one person to another person by their ancestors. Traditional art is the best way to convey one’s emotions. It is something that is created by real-time and effort.
DIGITAL ART:
Now the whole world is running through technology. The artwork that is done Through digital tools and with the help of Fine technology is called digital art.
REASONS WHY TRADITIONAL ART IS BETTER THAN DIGITAL ART
Traditional ART is better than digital art in many ways, and few of them are:
1. TRADITIONAL TOOLS:
Traditional tools can produce art in-depth. Traditional art materials provide in-depth knowledge about art and artworks, and it is in natural form, and they may not be found in most of the computer-oriented arts. Some of the painting tools are Dyes, Watercolors, Paints, etc. These tools are precious and can be preserved for a longer period. Some Traditional arts are done with valuable items like Metals, Artistic efforts, and Skills. So, they are Precious and more Valuable. Due to the incoming of people from different countries to perceive the style of traditional art! It results in the spread of that artwork at national and international levels. And thus, Increase the name and fame of our country.
2. REAL AND UNIQUE :
Traditional art is Real. Whatever the artists feel or imagine in their minds, they will project that in real and physical form, so it can be touched and felt. You can also experience its height, width, size, color, etc. Moreover, it is like a “one kind piece” It cannot be copied or duplicated as the original form. One can feel more joy when they have something valuable in their hands rather than having in digital form. We can also post them onto the walls for good looking. Whereas digital art is not considered to be a real one. And it will not be in the physical form, and one cannot feel the originality of that artworks. Digital art can be copied or duplicated like the original form. It can be Printed, but it does not look like the painting that is done by hand. You can make digital art on a giant screen like a plasma or a movie theatre screen, but it still looks flat and imaginary. Fine arts can be Gifted to anyone. And it can be passed down to future generations. Since traditional art is Unique they increase the name and fame of the artist.
When you are painting by hand, you will have some Traditional look and feel. You can not have that Traditional feel in the case of digital art even when they are Printed in Physical form. When you take an example of reading books, one can find happier reading a physical book holding that in their hands rather than a book that is in digital form.
3. CREATED ANYWHERE :
Traditional art can be created anywhere and at any time. Whenever the artist gets an idea of any picture, nature, anything, he can project that in the form of art, It just requires a few painting tools like paper, clay, pencils, colors, etc. We can easily carry the painting tools from one place to another place. Digital art requires electronic Devices, Hardware, and software. In the case of Digital art, when the artist has any idea to make any art, but if he does not have a computer or a tab with proper software and hardware, then he cannot do the artwork.
4. EXISTS FOR LONGER PERIOD :
Traditional art exists for an extremely long period. By looking at that, one can identify at what period the art belongs. They are designed, Through great tools and techniques. Traditional art materials have been used for years and so their value has also been increasing. When one wants to make a poster of any historical events into fine Artworks then, most of them prefer Traditional art, because traditional arts carry more emotions than digital art. There are some interesting stories about Traditional ART( like behind a few traditional arts there is some history). We don’t find a distinct history behind digital art. It also increases legacy and keeps one’s religious norms and values alive.
5. LOWER COSTS:
Traditional art will be created, with the help of some tools and techniques, Which costs relatively Low. Whereas digital will be created, with some special software and hardware, Which costs relatively high, So the initial cost of digital art is more when compared to traditional art. But Traditional art will have recurring costs. Moreover, you must have computer/system knowledge to do digital art. So, again you need to go for training to gain computer knowledge, which costs a little high.
6. PRICE:
Generally, one tends to buy any physical assets at higher prices when compared to digital form. Traditional art is real and has a unique value, so it is considered to be more worthy when compared to digital art. The demand for Traditional art will always be high at any period. Some traditional arts are so valuable, they are sold nationally and internationally for higher prices, so it also leads to financial development.
7. REFLECTION:
Traditional art can be done, With the help of natural elements like clay, paints, etc… so this kind of artwork will reflect when it is exposed to heavy lightning. That means whenever you change the color of light, the color of the art will also change( This is seen in case when the artist uses clay and paint mix in his/her artworks). We cannot see such reflection in the case of digital art. And, we can convey certain messages through artworks. One can convert Messages better in the case of traditional art rather than digital art.
8. IMPROVES ARTISTIC SKILLS AND CREATIVITY:
In traditional art, the artist will have perfect knowledge in terms of mixing two or more colors to get a suitable color. Different colors have different specifications like the red color has one specialty and green has some other Specialty and so on… Whenever one color mixes with another color, it automatically turns to some other different color(example: green color when mixed with blue, we will get CYAN color, and so on….)sometimes you may go wrong or commit any mistakes in mixing the colors, But no problem you can “learn out of mistakes.” And thus you can improve your learning skills. Whereas for digital art, all the suitable colors will be available in the software itself, so the person working with digital art will not gain a few artistic skills when compared to traditional art.
Traditional art will have limited possibilities. It is hard to rectify and redraw your mistakes in traditional art. So, while doing Traditional art, we must keep more concentration, so our concentration level will increase, and an increase in concentration level will lead to an increase in the creative skills of the artist.
Digital art will have unlimited possibilities. Though it is an advantage, at the same time, it is also a disadvantage, because if we have Unlimited Possibilities, we may lose our creative skills.
There are certain learning stages in the case of Traditional art like basics/foundation level to practice in reality level. It takes a few months or years to learn all such Stages. Each level will have a different significance. One must pass through all the Stages to learn the art in depth. So, one can gain in-depth knowledge relating to art and artworks in the case of traditional art. Moreover, before doing digital art, we must first learn about Traditional art.
9. SECURING OF ART:
It is easy to Secure Traditional art by keeping it in a safe place. Whereas digital art cannot be secured highly. Example: If I have done any Traditional art, then I can store that in any safest place, and at the same time, If I have done the art in digital form, a simple delete button can delete the entire art.
10. THE FLAWS:
The defects of an artwork that was created by hand have original value. Whereas, the flaws of an artwork that is created by a digital form will not have original value. And traditional art methods allow you to create different media.
CONCLUSION :
Different people have different attitudes. Some people might say Traditional art is better, and some others say digital art is better. Both are having certain pros and cons. Finally, from the above reasons like cost, price, uniqueness, learning objectives, security, etc…., we can say that traditional art is much better than digital art.
