Ascii art blog

After learning how technology has been used to create art through the Powerpoint in class, I have a better appreciation for art and the effort it that is put into it. Art comes in all different forms with unique styles and art can be anything. Looking around at ascii art is very interesting because it is using basic letters, numbers, and symbols to create something totally new and catching to the eye. Ascii art makes me look at it twice because there is just so much that each piece holds. Although it is portraying a picture, when you look closely, you see an intricate pattern woven together to produce this art. I like how letters can be put together to create words and symbols can be put together to create pictures, or vice versa. Ascii art is pristine and precise, but at the same time it is free and unique which is why this art is so interesting to me. Most people think of art as paintings or sculptures, but this shows that art can be anything especially in the world that is becoming so technologically diverse. Using technology to create art is not a new aspect, it has been around for centuries and will continue to be used as long as the world is still spinning.
