Hardware
Computer:
There is no "magic" computer needed to run the typical software packages affiliated with digital art. Students will often feel as if their personal computer isn't good enough for art-making; this is simply not true! Although there are benefits to having more memory or a better display, the most essential component of the computer is a strong internet connection. This will allow students to download and update their programs, as well as use online services and applications.
