Art has always been surrounded by an air of romance, intrigue and mystery. The artists that create a love affair of the mind and the canvas can be elevated to the status of legend. The artist has the ability to weave stories, emotion and experience with art materials. They are able to transform a mere paintbrush into a mystical and energized wand of power. The artist can take anyone to any place with a brush stroke.

These are the tools that create worlds, change society and invoke thought and promote culture. It has been said that the pen is mightier than the sword. This has proven true all through history. Where wars and arguments have come and gone, documents and paintings continue to survive and go on.

For centuries there have been many different materials used for brushes. An expensive red sable brush uses the hair of a weasel. Different brush materials will cause different effects and patterns. This has been a well liked hair for paint brushes for a number of years.

Kolinsky sable is used in brushes. The brush hair is taken from the hair of the tail of the Siberian mink. This is one of the most expensive types of brush hair. This particular type of brush is coveted for its ability to retain its point shape. There are also many synthetic brush hairs that produce similar effects. Most inexpensive brushes are made with synthetic fibers. They do produce quality works and do not always require as much maintenance as organic hairs.

Artists are moving to the computer to produce modern art. There will always be a need for non-computer mediums like clay and paint. Some are using a combination of computer and regular mediums to produce some really great looking art. Some techniques involve photographing an artwork digitally and then converting it and manipulating it to add computer generated effects.

Comic book artists have been especially affected by computer art. It is now possible to produce an entire comic book without using a pencil. Many artists believe in the old methods because they are able to sell the original pencil and paper drawings as well as the inked drawings. In this field it has become common to specify that computer art is not wanted.

In photography classes in college many instructors are moving to digital only. Currently, several instructors still teach dark room techniques but many are moving away from the hands on instruction. The costs are becoming prohibitive in using the old dark room developing techniques. Camera manufacturers have already begun to discontinue all of the older cameras.

The art that can be created with simple art materials can change perceptions and make a lasting impression on humanity. It is also the artist that controls the brush that lives on in the minds of the people. As technology advances us and the methods of artistic expression; there will always be a need and desire to dab paint on a canvas or sharpen a pencil.
