LEARN What do you need to know?

Technology-based art is essentially computer-generated and/or manipulated. With technology

being a fundamental force in the development and evolution of art, they are interlinked to each
other.

Computer arts or digital arts first came on the scene in the early 1960s. Understandably,
this was due to the technology that was constantly developing. Thus, the early experimenters were
not necessarily artists, but engineers and scientists who had access to and experience with the
hardware needed.

There were questions as to whether it was, in fact “true art” since it made use of electronic and
mechanical devices, rather than the artist’s own hand to produce the images and effects. Within a
few years, however, there was a general acceptance of digital art as an exciting and thought-
provoking form of modern art. Today, people are more involved in taking pictures – selfie, groupie,
formal or informal, editing pictures and uploading in different social media platforms. In fact,
people are generating income in a very creative presentation of their arts through digital ways.

Notes to the Teacher and Parents

Remind the students to prepare their digital cameras or an android phone. If not
available ask them to borrow from any member of the family or their relatives.
Answers for activities number 1 to 5 may vary.

Digital Arts Defined

Digital Arts describe technological arts, with fluid boundaries offering many possible
interpretations of the terminology. As such, we now prefer the terms digital art and new media
which can be used interchangeably with some nuances. In other words, while some works rely on

3|Page
digital tools to magnify an already-existing medium, others use as digital technology as an
intrinsic and indissociable component in the making of the artifact.

 Computer generated Images

This module will let you discover your hidden talent in technology –
based art, thus, this will focus on Mobile Phone Arts and Computer-generated
Images among others. Other technology–based art forms will be discussed on
the succeeding modules.

Today’s computer artists employ the ever-expanding powers of image manipulation programs and
applications to create an amazing artwork which can appear in an entire range of media whether
as a physical output or a virtual experience.
Computer/digital arts make use of electronic and mechanical devices, rather than the
artist’s own hand, to produce the desired images and effects. Thus, these are definitely
technology-based art forms.

In recent decades, personal gadgets such as laptops, tablets, and android phones have
incorporated the artistic capabilities of the large-scale computers. So it is now possible for anyone
to be a digital artist.

MOBILE PHONE ARTS DEFINED

The mobile phone that you

constantly hold has evolved from a
mere communication tool, to a
creative device that allows you to
generate original works of art for
an entire range of purposes.

https://tallypress.com/fun/the-evolution-of-mpbile-phone-designs-from-1983-2019/

Mobile phones can store personal photographs and videos that you can manipulate with a
myriad of special effects, both visual and auditory.

They could also be school projects or reports that require you to combine images,
incorporate text, and even include simple animation.

The wonder of it all is that you

can do all these right on your own
mobile devices, particularly the new
generation models known as android
tablets, phones, and a combination
of both called “phablets”.

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-phone-tablet-and-phablet

The tasks that traditional photo editors used to perform manually – cropping, retouching,
airbrushing are now just a few of the many editing effects done for you with split-second ease at
the click of the mouse, a keyboard command, or a few taps and drags of your finger on a touch
screen.

Art Elements in the Technology Based Production

Rhythm
Rhythm in art is possibly one of the most difficult and most important ingredients required
for building an interesting composition. Just like in music, the music we hear and the different
beats produce a physical reaction from us, making us move our bodies to the rhythm, allowing us
to express the inner sensations sound produced. It is often referred to as the principles of
organization or design principles. Rhythm refers to the movement or the visual flow within a
certain piece. It is sometimes also referred to as a tempo or a beat created that invites the eye to
enter into the journey of the artist’s soul.

Balance
Balance in art refers to the use artistic elements such as line, texture, color, and form in
the creation of artworks in a way that renders visual stability. In general terms, balance refers to
the equilibrium of different elements. However, in art and design, balance does not necessarily
imply a complete visual or even physical equilibrium of forms around a center of the composition,
but rather an arrangement of forms that evokes the sense of balance in viewers. Balance is

6|Page
important as it brings visual harmony, rhythm and coherence to artwork, and it confirms its
completeness.
There are few types of balance, and they are as follows:
Symmetry – a form of balance achieved by the use of identical balance compositional units
on either side of a vertical axis within the picture plane.
Approximate Symmetry - a form of balance achieved by the use of similarly balanced
compositional units on either side of a vertical axis within the picture plane.
Radial Symmetry – a form of balance that is even, radiating out from a central point to all
four quadrants of the shape’s constraining plane.
Asymmetry – a form of balance attained when the visual units on balance either side of
the vertical axis are not identical, but are placed in positions within the picture plane.

Emphasis
Emphasis is a principle of arts which refers to the use of visual elements to draw attention
to a certain area, usually a focal point, in an artwork. There are many ways you could go about
using emphasis in your art. Usually, it involves contrasting
different elements against each other. For example, a bright red object will stand out among dull
gray background or a straight line among curve lines, or a round object among circular objects.

Proportion
Proportion is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the relationship in
scale between one element and another, or between a whole object and one of its parts. Differing
proportions with a composition can relate to different kinds of balance or symmetry, and can help
establish visual weight and depth.

Variety
Variety is the compliment to unity and harmony, and is needed to create visual interest.
Without unity and harmony, an image is chaotic and “unreadable”, without variety it is dull and
uninteresting. Good design is achieved through the balance of unity and variety; the elements
need to be alike enough so we perceive them as a belonging together and different enough to be
interesting.

Movement
Movement is the path our eyes follow when we look at a work of art, and is generally very
important to keep a viewer’s eyes engaged in the work. Without movement artwork becomes
stagnant. A few good strategies to evoke a sense of movement (among many others) are using
diagonal lines, placing shapes so that they extend beyond the boundaries of the picture plane, and
using changing values.
Below are the different examples of pictures taken by the author to show how each element is
being played.
Take a look at
these photo
presentations.
Rhythm

The rhythm in photography

strongly structures an
image. Often, the rhythm of
a photo generates a
movement.

Balance

An image is balanced when

subject areas command a
viewer’s attention equally.

No copyright issue, picture taken at

Sumilao, Bukidnon.

Emphasis
The subject used to attract the
viewer’s attention to a
particular area or object.

No copyright issue, picture taken at Dahilayan, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon

Proportion
Proportion is used in
photography to give the illusion
that something is different in
size, but still makes the photo
fit together.

Taken by the author at Kinawe, Libona, Bukidnon

Variety
Another element which can be
played by the photographer by
observing many elements in a
picture, it can be sizes, colors
or the subject itself.

Movement

Lines and patterns create a

sense of motion.
