Art Generators:

Bomomo: This art generator allowed multiple things… It was really fun to use all of the different styles and find your own technique. I really enjoyed being able to create my own work starting with a blank space. 

Jackson Pollack: This art generator was very basic, meaning there was only one way to use it, but it was very fun trying to create something interesting. All you could do was drag your mouse around the computer screen & it was up to you to make an artwork… and that to me was the fun part. 

Viscosity: This art generator was my personal favorite. It begins with only showing bars going from white to black and you can choose your own colors. But you have to use the different brushes they give you, or move every piece yourself (which is what I did).

A Camera in Every Pocket:

Question: How do you feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography?

Answer: The popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography by allowing multimedia productions to publish work, but it has also been "hard for professional photographers to not feel threatened.” An example of the positive impacts of multimedia is stated in the article: "But technological advances work to our advantage, too. They allow professional photographers to share our work quickly and widely, and tell stories in engaging, innovative ways. Think, for example, of multimedia productions, iPad applications or eBooks, as well as the ability to make work accessible through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.” With the positive, comes a little negative. In the article, Olmos talks about how photography is dying and how cellphones have an impact on photographers. He states: "Photographers are getting destroyed by the rise of iPhones. The photographers who used to make £1,000 for a weekend taking wedding pictures are the ones facing the squeeze. Increasingly we don't need photographers – we can do just as well ourselves.”
