For some people. digital artis anything that goes through a computer including digitally stored (seanned} copies A of paintings from which prints are made, or an image produced using a mouse or stylus, graphics tablet, and vector graphics software. Other folks use the term to refer to anything generated completely by the computer itself while many others define between these two definitions. ital art somewhere What does“digital" mean? This means that the computer uses numbers when converting and recording information. For instance, when you take a selfie (or 2 photograph of yourself), your digital camera or smartphone takes the shot and then converts into digital or numeric code. What your eyes seeis 2 photograph of you smiling or yourself making funny faces. But toa computer thisimage is @ code that contains billions of digits. When this code is saved, the digits can now be used to create exact copies of the original image. This code can also be modified to make some changes in the image. Types of Digital Art Computer-generated Imagery. CGls are images made using computer software for movies, television shows, video games, and online commercials. The numerous visual effects in many movies today (especially big budget superhero, disaster, adventure, and horror movies}, which place real actors in fantastic settings or have them interact with dinosaurs, aliens, or robots are generally created in the computer.

And also they can control the visual effects more, as compared to other filmmaking process that are more physically based (@.g. hiring hundreds of extras for battle scenes, constructing miniature buildings for effects shots). They use CGI because it allows them to create images that would be otherwise impractical or impossible to produce if ather filmmaking technolagies were used. Because CGI software has become more accessible and computer speed has increased in the recent years, small companies and individuals can now create professional-grade movies, videos, games, and other forms of digital art using their home computers. n yey ai} NRE Mobile Digital Art. Simply put, mobile digital artis art made with the use of mobile digital devices such as cell phones and PC tablets, Despite their limited capabilities, these devices shave been the platform of choice for many artists in drawing, painting, taking photos, making photomontages, and creating music, sound, video clips, and animation. This is made possible by photography, movie making, and various art applications. If freedom and empowerment for artists took center stage in the artistic movements in the 20th century, today’s mobile art movement takes such creative freedom to a new level. his technology-driven artistic movement happens in an er when the predominant outlooks that there is nothing impossible, that we can do everything. Artists from every corner of the world are now linked ‘by social media, especially photo- and video-sharing sites. where they share nor only their ‘works, but alse their ideas and experiences, Digital Photography. With the increasing availability of digital technology. digital photography has become one of the top avenues for creating art. Not only anart, digital photography isalso a science of making and manipulating photos that are represented as bit maps. There are many ways to produce digital photographs. You can shoot an image using a digital camera or smartphone, or by capturing a frame from a video. You can also scan ‘conventional photographs. Once the photograph is digitized, you can choose from a variety ‘of image-enhancing software to apply special effects to it.

Digital painting ts an evolving form of art in which the artist uses a computer a digitizing tablet. 2 mouse or stylus, and 2 particular software to digitally create the painting. It is not categorized as computer-generated art because itis not created by a computer that mechanically generates images from mathematical models made by the artist. Instead, the artist is the one who creates the image by using the painting elements (color, line, texture, etc), principles of design (balance, harmony, contrast, etc), and techniques ‘or technical effects (impasto, sfumate, pointillism, etc) directly on his or her computer. The digital manipulation of photograph is not digital painting. The former isa modification of an existing work whereas the latteris an original construction (ie, made from scratch) Digital Imaging. The term digital imaging refers to the electronic recording of images {photos and other forms of art), their translation into digits, the storage of these digits on ‘2 computer and the manipulation with computer programs.

Digital images are sampled and mapped 45 pixels that are assigned tonal value and are represented in zeras and ones (binary code). Because digital images are in the form of numeric data, you can transmit them over phone lines or through computer networks or satellites. GIF Art. A GIF art is a digital art form that first emerged in the late 1980s. [tis 2 moving graphic image that endlessly loops and can also present some sequences before the animation stops. Many GIF artists have been trained formally in art school and started their careers as illustrators or animators, until they focused on experimenting with the potential ‘of moving images for presenting artistry on the internet.

But when you play a video game, you can move around the set, and you have more freedom to move. Designers of interactive video games must create a whole new world, often fantastic and adventurous, for a game character and its player to livein.
