Art is exploding these days. Maybe not &quot;fine art&quot;, but when I was growing up, everyone said, &quot;Oh, no, I cannot draw.&quot; Today, the internet is full of art being created and shared. Even by teenagers  or other folk who &quot;can&#x27;t draw&quot;. Anime is popular, and many people and trying out that style as well. Painting is as popular as ever, and the crafting movement, too. The geek culture of the internet has spawned people making geek art in all kinds of media.<p>Not much of this (if any) is going to show up on gallery walls, and I am not even claiming that I like much of it. But it is art. And it is absolutely relevant to the people creating and viewing it.<p>We have an entire generation of people growing up knowing that they can create. Whether those creations use traditional art media, digital media, crafts, or something entirely new, the point is that the creative process is alive and well, vastly more so than when I was young.
