Tutorial on the article

My thoughts on the handout we received on Thursday are that there are many ways to interpret the trends and their rapid growth within the art realm and patterns. Sometimes we find, with the coming of new and better ideas, that change is difficult to swallow. I remember watching my dad-who I believe to be one of the most talented commercial artists ever-work tediously, with airbrush in one hand and sharp exacto blade in the other. There is something unique about those who have the patience to work weeks or even months on one job until it was perfect. Somehow, the process of trial and error, along with massive amounts of patience, allows(more like feeds, really!) yours talents to be defined, redefined, and then refined.
By all accounts, I agree with the thoughts of the author, Jim Datz, without the balance of these processes(as for primarily computer generated) you loose out on true growth. Jim Datz does not state in the end, whether there will be respect lost or gained for artists/designers creating today's patterns. However, I got the impression from his tone, that in the end, all you have is images and quiet possibly a bunch of 'artists' lacking great substance and soul.
Sincerely,
Renee
