Abstract

In fine arts teaching, I have exposed myself to traditional painting and the niche, computer painting. I have also applied the two types of tools in my painting practice, and examined the similarities and differences of the two ways and the features of their products. In my teaching, I find out many students are attracted by the new way of expression, some of who even plan to abandon traditional tools and focus on computer painting. Admittedly, with the development of technology, computer painting demonstrates very strong potential in visual expression. The works of computer painting can even compete with traditional fine art to some extent. It is not only more operational, but also evolving into a variety of patterns in expression. However, despite of better attainability in presenting and storing the works, the limitations of computer painting cannot be ignored, which would greatly affect the value of the works. From a comparative perspective, this essay analyzes a few works by various famous artists from different periods and discusses the issues related to the value of computer painting works.
