Gary,
I don't think I was asking the question… "is it art?". I assume CG animation
is an art and the thrust of my comments to Ara is that studying the arts
whether it be film or traditional medium is going to be the best preparation
for what's to come (provided of course one gets or has some experience working
with computers). I also expect that more educational institutions will in time
develop an art curriculum designed around CG much like film, cel animation or
photography.
The question "is it art?" has been applied to everything not restrictive of
medium. I agree with your perspective and I trust I didn't imply otherwise. I
assume any medium you can create in has the pontential to be art which is
probably a fairly liberal interpretation. To me its not a question of the
medium but as you say what you do with it.
