This link is to an article that may have sparked an idea for a dissertation title. What impact does new, Internet based technologies have on art and society? It's about how digital art is considered 'real' art and has as much function in society as art in a physical form.

This lists 30 top art teaching app, which I think is dramatically changing the way future generations learn and how they understand art. the app includes anything from brushes which is used purely to create art with different brushes/colours to learning about artists to combining maths and art.

Research Project

I have just started doing some research for next years research project. I want to start with my passion for fine art and mix it in with my interest for digital technologies. So far I haven't got a title but I am going to look into-

• Mik Godley who has started to use an ipod to paint and prints them onto canvases
• The technical implications of fine art and graphics
• Creating something traditional in a modern way
• Brushes/sketchbook app
• Second life art gallery to see what may become of the art gallery in the future
• Tate gallery app
• Marketing

So i guess a vague start to my question would be Integrating fine art with digital technology. Image resolution/presentation of fine art websites. (I know doesn't make a lot of sense at the moment but that will change)
