Message Board Topic: Social Media and Art

How has "social media" (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, etc.) impacted art? How has social media allowed us to see more art?

Think about sites like DeviantArt. Are sites like this improving the quality of art being shown?

    social media has impacted art because there's a lot of people on these sites. this makes it easier to get your art known by just posting it online, and having a page other people can "like".

    some social mediea sites are based on photos like the iphone app called instagram. also, tumblr is a site where you just post pictures too. art is all over and especailly on the internet.

    i think social media is a good way to get your art shown for more people than you are able to show physically. you can post your art online for anyone in the world to see and you can get a ton of feed back and some constructive criticism.

    I think it impacts art quite a bit because a lot of people post their art online for people to see even if they dont know them or live far away

    People can post their photography and artwork on these sites for their friends/followers to see and then they can re-post it or re-blog it so their art becomes more popular and is known.

    You are able to share your art with other people and get different kinds of inspirations

    Sturgeons Law dictates that 90% of everything is terrible.

    So now with so many sites that allow art to be posted, there has been an influx of "bad" art.

    But that doesn't mean there isn't stuff out there that makes the 10% worth dying for

    these social medias bring things from other parts of the world to the us so its a constant thing going on with art from other places in the world.
