Selling Out

The reading tonight was so interesting, and absolutely rich with great information. It really got me to thinking about my own art. In the reading, it was talking about the fact that some Christians are not accepting of artists, and their artwork. I kind of wonder if that is because, as an artist you are the creator of the artwork that you produce, and as Christians there is only one Creator, being God. I don't know, I could be totally taking that wrong, but it really makes me think.

Also, going back to the discussion in class today about selling out: As much as I love Disney, I have to say, that when they closed down their hand drawn animation department, I think that was selling out big time. I feel like Disney Pixar makes great computer animated films, but by doing that they have lost some of the magic. I think that for them, it was just easier to work with Disney Pixar, because they would be able to produce movies faster, and by doing so, it would be quicker and easier to bring in the money. I have so much appreciation for hand drawn animated films, and stop motion films, because I know that it takes a really long to create those kinds of film, and I feel like there was more thought put into those films. I know, it  weird, me being sort of against the whole computer animation, especially since I am going to major in Digital Media Arts. But, hand drawn animation is where my heart is, and maybe one day I will be able to reopen the hand drawn animation department at Disney.
