Topical Investigation

So I had posted this twice, and of course. No such luck with publishing, so I'm sorry that this is so late.

The main idea of my topical investigation is going to be centered around technology and art. With new emerging technologies that allow us to completely create digital fabrications of our art work and then if we decide to take them into the physical, we can, it is hard for us as a society to see the need for physical art such as painting, sketching, sculpting, or metal work. New technologies allow us to simply render an image from a 3-D scanned model, so why I ask you, is it necessary to spend countless hours trying to sculpt a human being, when a 3-D printer can always come out more accurate than a sculptor ever could?

The exploration of using technology to further our advances in art and not completely dub them obsolete is where my project is going to be focused around. I want to use images, 3-D models, and other Art and English outlets to create a Digital Prototype of an iPad application that will link English, Art and Digital Technology in a way that is educational and exciting for the new generation of users. This eventually could be also used as a website for those without smart phone access and could be implemented as a learning tool for middle school and high school students.

Let me know what you guys think and if there are any further suggestions that you might have to build on the gap between art and technology! Thank you!
