New and Improved Apple Stores

Apple stores are not only the hot new place to buy phones, tablets and computers; but also to see new and exciting artwork. Apple's newest improvement to the store is showing artwork that has been made only on iPhone's, iPad's, or Mac Computers. Apple has hired 12 artist with these devices to design artwork for the stores all over the world. These new artists say they went from brushes and a canvas to one app (also called Brushes), which lets them "paint" on their phones, in just a few hours. One of the new artists, Austin Mann now says that his favorite thing to do is faster and easier with his iPhone. 

This has also opened up a new window for photography. Some of the artists say it is now very easy to see something beautiful and click one button for it to be considered "amazing artwork".

Some may think this a great idea, which I agree with them, this is a great opportunity for the artists and for Apple. But, I can see the other side, to which most people want it to be original. Anyone can take a picture of a mountain and it be a good picture, but when you paint with paint brushes and a canvas, you paint/draw from your brain or your heart. It's YOUR art, not the world's.
