Something that caught my interest this week was the program SketchPad. SketchPad was created in 1963 by Ivan E. Sutherland. This is important to know because starting from here everything related to 3D modeling and Digital Art starts advancing rapidly. Digital artists definitely need to know this so they can understand how the technology they have now has advanced from then. From my additional research, I learned that SketchPad takes light from a special pen to produce a drawing on a computer. SketchPad could alter the difference between lines so you didn't have to keep drawing. You can draw a miniature version of something and enlarge it as needed to add details.
