Art is changing!

Today, instead of just looking at a painting on a wall, people can walk right into a moving, glowing art world.

In Mumbai, a special show made the famous horse paintings of artist MF Husain come alive as moving pictures at a big hall by the sea.

Around the world, art fairs like Art Basel are adding digital art, where computers and lights help make the art.

An artist named Nalini Malani made a huge work in Venice from more than 30,000 drawings she created on an iPad.

In Tokyo, the teamLab museum is filled with rooms of moving lights and projections.

A big art report says the global art market is worth billions, and digital art is a fast-growing part of it.

Many new art fans in their 30s are buying digital art.

Another teamLab show in Mumbai lets visitors watch digital flowers bloom and disappear as they move through the room.

This shows that art is not just paint and brushes — it can be made with light, computers and imagination!
