TECHNOLOGY NOW-DAYS:The technology now-days can

help a lot to make more original the art pieces, and not only can be represented in just a picture, it can also be represented in a visual movement of tv shows. There are many eastern and western artist that make animated tv shows that contain the characters of their art pieces. There is also aplications that can help to the process of the art piece more dinamic, like photo/picture editors, and they can be downloded in computers and smartphones.

WITH AND WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY:

Ken Ishikawa uses technology in the left image, but in the right image he dosnt use technology to make it. The details are more when he used technology, because the colors can contrast every element of the character. He changes from making manga to making anime series because he had a big influence of Kazuki Nakashima, a creator of many anime shows.

PERSONAL OPINION OF THE ARTIST:

My opinion of this artist is that he is not a famous person, but what i have found is that he is very good making anime characters, and manga pictures. This artist died in 2006, so he couldn had the modrn tecnology of these days, but he used the technology of the animation in computer, and that is a very important event in his life.

PERSONAL OPINION OF ART-TECHNOLOGY:The technology is good tool for making

better art pieces, but this connot be an obstacle for the artist to stop makink the old and tradicional art pieces with ink and paper. It is also easier for the artist to use because they have the option to re-do things when they mess it up, the option is called control-z.

MISTAKE:Mi mistake of the 3rd bimester were

that i didnt realice the homework of the vectorian giotto, and that was a very important work. I also can be a better student to dont make agaiun this faults.
