Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items (often with symbolic significance) in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings.
 
IS DIGITAL ART A VALID FORM OF ART?
What are some of the advantages that digital paint and draw programs offer over the traditional methods (canvas and paint).
 
  • The ability to undo and redo.
  • There is no mess. For example, if you were painting on a canvas, there is the issue of cleaning up, while with digital artworks, they can be stored neatly in files on a computer.
  • With digital artworks, there is no annoying smudging while creating your artwork.

What skills must a digital artist possess to create great digital art?
  • A digital artist must have a steady hand in order to use the mouse as a pencil OR the artist could purchase a device which lets them draw onto a pad which then sends the image to the computer.
  • Digital artists must also have the required skill to be able to use programs such as -  paint.net and Inkscape, in order to create great artworks
