I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT/ PANIMULANG KONSEPTO

Distinct Characteristics of Arts in the 21st Century
Technological advancement is inevitable. Day by day, it is influencing every
aspect of our life. Its impact can be seen also in the arts since arts continuously
evolve with the technological growth.
Computer technology has been a part of every aspect of modern life. Anyone
with a computer device like desktop PC, laptop, tablet or android phone can now
capture and edit images and videos; create, manipulate, and share works of art; and
even compose music.
Traditional artists employ palette and brushes with wide choices of inks,
paints, and other pigments that are applied in paper, canvass, walls, ceilings, fabric,
and the like. Meanwhile, today’s artists use technology in creating their
masterpieces. They employ the powers of image manipulation programs and
applications, either physical or virtual art experience.
Consequently, digital art is a technology-based art form which is generated
using gadgets like computers, smartphones, or graphic tablets. Eventually, the
concept of computer-generated works as a means of serious artistic expression has
gained ground among the younger generation of local artists.
The distinct characteristics of technology-based art are as follows:
1. It is produced digitally.
2. It is easy to reproduce since it is digitally made.
3. It allows communication between the artist and the audience.
4. It can be easily accessed and shared with the use of gadgets and the
internet.
5. It uses different qualities of an art elements in creating visual effect.
In producing technology-based arts, sharing and reaching computer/digital art
internet connections are vital in downloading applications and programs to be used
in the manipulations of photos, images and videos.
