So me and my friend Adam have been going out to Lake Oswego for the past couple months attending meetings at the Art Center. Every year they have an art festival with a different theme. This year's theme is digital art. The point of this was to educate the public on how digital art is created and to hopefully lift a bit of the 'digital art isn't real art' stigma.
