Abstract: FranklinPainting is believed to predate recorded history and has been in existence for over 35,000 (Ayres, 1985;Bolton, 2013) years.Over the years, painting has evolved; new styles have been developed and digital media have been explored.Each period of change goes through a period of rejection before it is accepted.In the 1960s, digital media was introduced to the art form.Like all the painting mediums, it was rejected.It has been over 50 years since it was introduced and yet, it has not been fully accepted as an art form (King, 2002;Miller, 2007;Noll, 1994).This exploratory study seeks to understand the artist's perception on the use of digital media as an art tool and its benefit to the artists and art education.reaction against this form of art is still present, though advances have been recorded.Critique of digital painting is based on the belief that the art forms lack aesthetic value, originality, creativity and the ability to invoke artist satisfaction.In the next chapter, the issue of technology and the use of digital tools will be revisited in much detail.
