15、如何，人们数千年来一直在用艺术表达自己的思想和理念。为此，人们使用了各种各样的工具和技术。然而，米开朗基罗等人一直被称为“艺术家”而非“能工巧匠”。这就意味着艺术和科技一直被看作两个截然不同的领域。然而如今，科技的进步使得艺术与之结合。因此，艺术界正在发生巨大的变化。现在，我们比以往任何时候都更容易接触艺术。例如，中国宋朝的传世名画之一清明上河图，因其极少被展出，人们有时要排队等上六个小时才有机会一睹其容。即使面对画卷，由于这幅画卷长达五米，人们也只有有限的时间来欣赏画面上汴京汴河沿岸的景色。然而，在科技的帮助下，已经有数百万人得以观摩这幅画作的数字化版本了。利用3D动画技术，观赏者可以看到画
