WIKI SO FAR

I have yet to contribute to the wiki page but I will be talking about the usage of technology to create art. I will be talking about the drawing tablets under the "Art" section of the Wikipedia.

An example of a drawing tablet I will be talking about is the Wacom Intuos tablet that allows users to draw on the computer instead of paper. A little different from our iPad tablets, the Wacom Intuos tablet is specifically used for creating artwork through on the computer, whether it is on PC, or on a MAC. What you basically have is a board and a pen. The pen contains pressure sensitivity and works like a mouse except you can also use it like a pen, pencil, and even paintbrush. You open a painting program such as SAI Paint Tool, Adobe Photoshop, or even MS Paint and you can use the pen to create artwork. People have painted portraits, landscapes, and RPG characters with the tablets, and it is a great alternative to painting and drawing on paper.

I will be talking about the tablets' basic usage and various programs that can be used along with it. I will show photo examples of these tablets, and actual artwork on the WIKI page.
