 Digital art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation
process.

1. Computer Graphics
Computer Graphics refer to the products of the graphic arts, especially commercial design, or illustration. Computer Graphics
specialize the methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Its function is to create and enhance all
kinds of graphical illustrations from:

(a) Digital Drawing

(b) Charts
(c) Logos
(d) 3D scenes
(e) Photo Manipulation
In most power point presentations, the use of graphics adds flavor and taste to the substance and scope presentation. Beyond
seeing a good content on the screen, the visual appeal is a must to create and sustain reader’s attention; charts and graphs
logic gives a quick access to reading the figures and implications. On the other end, moving graphics for tv, music, and
video show the growth of digital media lately
Computer graphics can be moving or non-interactive; Symantec built an interactive timeline to understand the evolution of
cloud technology. Other web graphics are interactive maps, and so it is the creation of digital dual games. Passive graphics
are known as non-interactive because the observer has no control on the image like the titles that are show on tv.

2. Computer Games
a computer-controlled game where players interact with objects displayed on a screen for the sake of entertainment.

History of Computer Games

Though video games are found today in homes worldwide, they actually got their start in the research labs of scientists. In
1952, for instance, British professor A.S. Douglas created OXO, also known as noughts and crosses or a tic-tac-toe, as part
of his doctoral dissertation at the University of Cambridge.
We tend to think of computer and video games as common elements of our modern society, but before there was Xbox,
Nintendo, or even Atari, there was NIM. Created by Westinghouse for the 1940 World's Fair, Nim was a rudimentary
computer game in which one would play against the machine, by picking up matchsticks.
In 1952 Alexander Shafto Douglas (21 May 1921 – 29 April 2010), a graduate student in Cambridge, was writing his Ph.D.
thesis on human-computer interaction for the University of Cambridge. He decided as part of his thesis to create a
computer game on the EDSAC computer at University (one of the first stored-program computers in the world), thus
creating the first graphical computer game OXO.
 Ralph Baer created "Chase,"
Two the first video game that was
William Higinbotham created capable of being played on
the first video game called: a television.
