What is Digital Art?

While contemplating what I should write about, I thought of a question that would be extremely important to this blog, in which I will be discussing quite a bit of digital art. But what is digital art, anyway? The artwork that I posted could be considered digital, since, although I drew it by hand, I edited and added things to it in Photoshop. Digital art can also refer to things made with 3D modeling programs, or made entirely in Photoshop. The way I see it, digital art is any kind of art that uses technology in its creative process, but here is Wikipedia's entry if a more "professional" definition is warranted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_art

I will be researching many things about Digital art in this blog, including some burning questions that I have. Why do people assume that Digital Art must be high-tech or realistic looking? Why do we even use computer resources to help us when we have pen and paper? These, and many more, I hope to answer.
