Digital Art: Survey and Practice

Entry Three: Digital Art

I found this digital art piece called "Drug Free Zone" by David Fuhrer. I think the reason I was drawn to this piece is because it depicts a miniature world that's very fanciful and different from reality. I like how at certain parts it's very packed and crowded and then at other parts it's very open and spacious. I also really like how it combines nature elements (the sky, the tree branch things) and the human-made elements (the houses, the barbed wire and the street sign). It has a good message and I'm going to make the assumption that the graveyard and barbed wire before the sign represent life with drugs and the happy little village beyond the sign represents life without drugs but I'm not going to lie, I often don't really care very much what the message of certain things are, especially when they are as cliche as this one seems to be. But aside from the obviousness of the message, I still really do like the style of this piece.
