Part 1

1. The internet, to me, is one of the most important a resourceful tools that we have. It can be used for research for countless amounts of things, whether it be for a paper, or inspiration, or information on places or things. The internet provides us with an unending amount of information and connection to the world around us. I also think the internet is a very successful way of putting work out there. Whether it be displaying artist work, like we will be doing in the class, or to advertise a company. The internet is a more advanced and more informational version of the phone book, I think. It allows us to stay connected with others, to find information we use everyday, and it allows us to learn.

2. I think artists use the internet in many different ways. An artist can create their own website to display their artwork. An artist can use the internet to research ideas or find inspiration for their projects and work. Websites themselves are displays for the artists who created them. As a growing artist, I use the internet to learn more about the design world and to find inspiration from other artists.
