 Technology-Based Art: Its Elements,
WEEK Characteristics and Adaptation
1 Lesson
I
In modern times, technology has a big impact on every aspect of human
life. It isbeing used as a vehicle towards connecting with human emotion while
representing an exploration of the human condition for a deeper understanding of
life. For younger generations like you, art is defined by technology, from its
creation, manipulation, reproduction, and even to its distribution.
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to identify the art elements in
the technology
-based production arts,
recognize the distinct characteristics of
modern arts in terms of production and functionality range of audience reach,
name the country’s pride 21st century Filipino digital artists, and describe how
they were influenced by the technology trend.

Learning Task 1:Compare the traditional arts to the digital ones. Use the
organizer below to process the given question. Answer this in your
notebook.

traditional digital
both

Artworks that are computer

-generated and/or manipulated are essentially

a Technology-based art.
Way back, traditional visual artists use actual brushes, palettes, paints,
inks, and natural pigments applied to paper, canvas, fabric, stucco walls, and
ceilings. At present, computer artists utilize the expanding powers of image
manipulation programs and applications to make their works appear in an
entire range of media—whether as a physical output or a virtual experience.

Learning Task 2: Accomplish the palette mapping by

writing words that represent ideas linked to the central key
which is the elements of arts. You can associate
words/ideas with as many as you can. Do this activity in
your notebook ELEMENTS OF ART

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Arts G10 6

 By gaining a deeper understanding of the elements of art, it will be easier
to analyze, unravel, and create any type of artwork from painting and
photography to sculpture and architecture. The elements of art are concrete
visual components that work in tandem with principles of art that organize and
harmonize them.
1. Line is the foundation of all drawings. It is the first and most
versatile of the visual elements. It refers to a mark that may
continuously go across a piece of artwork, or a mark that encloses
an area of space and forms a shape.

2. Shape is an enclosed space, a bounded two-dimensional form that

has both length and width. It is created when lines are joined or
overlapped to enclose an area. It can also work with the
pinterest.com

element space to create positive and negative spaces.

3. Value is made by the shadows and highlights within a piece of

artwork created by the light source. It makes a range of brightness
and darkness that enables art to appear to be three dimensional or
pinterest.com

gives depth.

4. Form includes depth and is three-dimensional that can be held or

viewed from different positions. It can be implied by the placement of
shadows and highlights in artwork that give it the appearance of

being three dimensional when it is not.

5. Texture is about how smooth or rough a surface of an object is. It
can be really creating a unique feeling or draw attention to the work.
This is created when a two-dimensional piece of artwork is created
pinterest.com

with various lines, values, and colors to imply that it has a different
texture from the actual texture of the canvas or paper.
6. Color refers to various pigments that can be represented through
different mediums. It is used to create emphasis or contrast and can
also be symbolic and present a deeper meaning or feeling. A deep
understanding of color theory helps an artist make better use of the
colors they have at their disposal.

7. Space can be the positive space and be the objects themselves, the
area around the objects and be referred to as negative space, closed
off or open and be narrow or deep, two dimensional or three
dimensional.

Computer/Digital Arts
In the early 1960s, digital or computer art first came on the scene.
Understandably, this was due to the technology that was constantly developing,
and that became available at that time. Thus, the early experimenters were not
necessarily artists, but engineers and scientists who had access to and experience
with the hardware needed. It was they who began to recognize the potential of
artistic expression through the application of scientific and mathematical
principles.
In fact, even in the sample works presented here, you will note a strong
scientific or mathematical look and feel to the creations of many digital artists.
Geometric forms and repeating patterns appear frequently. More traditional
subjects like human beings, landscapes, animals, -life
andelements
still are
simply incorporated as part of those forms and —rather
patterns than as the
focus.
Computer art exhibits became critically acclaimed and highly popular, as
digital artists or computer art masters or “superstars” came to the fore in Europe,
Russia, and the United States.

Here are some of their works:

Some digital artists have even used their works to express their views on
political, social, and cultural issues; as well as to advocate causes that are critical

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Arts G10 8

 to modern life, such as the environment and climate change. Others even
explored the philosophical relationship between science and technology and the
arts.

The Philippine Scene

Likewise, Filipino artists in our country were influenced by the technology trend
in art. However, this was more in the commercial sphere. From the 1960s to the
1990s, their computer-generated works were primarily geared towards illustrating
international comic books. Filipino illustrators earned quite a reputation for their
talents and were highly in demand in this field. They eventually became equally
sought after as animators for some of the major film production companies in the
United States, as well as for animated television series produced in different
countries.
However, the younger generation of local artists gained ground on the concept of
computer-generated works as a means of serious artistic expression. Today, even
the more established names in the field—artists and critics alike— have come to
accept and recognize digital works as fine art.

Antonio Gorordo, c
2010-2012

Antonio Gorordo is a 55-year-old digital artist who

used traditional painting tools and techniques for several
years. He was inspired by the works of Ang Kiukok and
Jose Joya. In 2010, he discovered the art of digital
painting. He created his pieces using Adobe Photoshop,
a popular photo-editing software. He believes digital art
is the new creative frontier offering limitless possibilities
and accessibility. He encourages artists and art lovers to
embrace new technologies in making art.

He is an independent artist of drawing, mixed media, and
algorithmic art; a co-founder of Algorists in 1995 with Roman
Verostko. He is a pioneer in the field of computer art merging
traditional art media and techniques, plotters, software, and
custom-built devices to produce original artwork.

Technology
-Based Art
Art and technology have become more intertwined than ever before. It
provides us with new ways to mix different types of media, allowing more human
interaction or simply making the process of creating something easier. Technology
-based arts or simply digital art, once created, can be easily
-produced
mass
because it is a work made and presented on digital technology. This includes
images done completely on a computer, -drawn
handimages scanned into a
computer and finished using software or applications. It can also involve
animation and 3D virtual sculpture renderings, as well as projects that combine
several technologies. Some digital art also involves the manipulation of video
images.
The 21st-century artworks are mostly created with different digital art

forms such as mobile phone art, -computer

generated image, digital photography,
video game, and digital painting with the aid of different software and applications
of using a variety of gadgets.

Mobile Phone Arts

on computers and/or the Internet
• outcome or output is stored in a bitmap (BMP) format

Some electronic and computing technologies that are part of digital

photography
Electronic/digital cameras: capture images/photographs and store
them in built-in/integrated storage media cards
Computing devices: include webcam integrated with a
computer/laptop or a scanner that enables the capturing of
existing physical (paper/card) images
Digital photography software: purpose-built software enables the
modification of texture, color, brightness, and many other image
attributes
For today’s younger generation that grew up in a digital world, even
entertainment now comes courtesy of computer devices. A major
component of such entertainment is in the form of video games of
every conceivable genre, subject matter, and skill level.
Video Games
• various interactive games played by electronically
manipulating images on a screen
• uses specialized electronic gaming devices,
computers, or mobile devices for entertainment.
• modern video games have evolved into sophisticated
experiences
• instantiate many principles that are fundamental in
altering behavior, producing learning, and promoting brain
plasticity
• involve predominately active forms of learning; typically more
effective than passive learning

Digital Painting
• a method of creating artwork using a computer
• still makes use of traditional painting mediums
such as acrylic paint, oils, ink, and watercolor,

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON Arts G10 16

 and applies the pigment to traditional surfaces,
such as canvas, paper, polyester, etc.
• employs computer software that drives a type of
robot device (such as a plotter) or an office
machine (such as a printer) that takes the place
of the artist’s hand
• a technique using a graphics software program to
create an artwork that is totally virtual
• finished work is stored in virtual format to be
shared through cyberspace

Video Technology / Imaging Videos

Social media purposes

• Provide a new platform for video materials targeting the “netizens” of
today

YouTube—from music, dance, and stage performances
• Provide tutorials of all kinds to recipes to documentaries to news clips to
marriage proposals

Medical/scientific purposes
 Today’s video technology is that of imaging videos in the fields of
medicine and science. Examples are Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI), Computerized Tomography (CT scans), and the like which
are used to create and record visual images of a patient’s internal
anatomy to diagnose and treat diseases and injuries. Ultrasound
tests or sonograms translate sound waves bouncing off physical
objects into images that can be studied—whether a baby
developing in the womb (in 2D, 3D, and 4D options), growths or
malformations inside the body, structural flaws in buildings, as

5. O I B L E M O H N P E T R A - allows you to generate original works of art for

an entire range of purposes.

Technology-Based Art

In the early 1960s, computer art or digital art first came on the scene.
Understandably, this was due to the technology that was constantly developing,
and that became available at that time. Thus, the early experimenters were not
necessarily artists, but engineers and scientists who had access to and experience
with the hardware needed. It was they who began to recognize the potential of
artistic expression through the application of scientific and mathematical
principles.
Computer technology has now invaded every aspect of modern life. It was,
therefore, inevitable that it would develop into forms and devices that could be
mass-produced, mass-distributed, and therefore widely accessible to everyone. In
other words, anyone with a computer device— from a desktop PC to a laptop, to a
tablet or android phone—can now capture and edit images and videos; create,
manipulate, and share works of art; and even compose music. You can be—and
probably already are—a digital artist in your own right.
• 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 large-scale computers. So, it is now possible for anyone
to be a digital artist.
• Mobile Phone Art allows you to generate original works of art for an entire
range of purposes. These could be personal photographs and videos that you
 can manipulate with myriad special effects, both visual as well as sound and
music. They could also be school projects or reports that require you to
combine images, incorporate text, even include simple animation.

MEDIA-BASED ART

These phenomenal capabilities and possibilities of

the electronic or digital media available in today’s
technology-driven world have empowered incredibly
imaginative artistic expressions to advance traditional
painting, sculpture, and architecture. As quickly as
technology can develop new devices, gadgets, and
techniques, modern artists and designers adapt them
to enhance their creative expression. The advanced
procedures and patterns in photography, film, print
media, digital media, and product and industrial
design will be explored.
Photography as an Art
From the Greek “photos” (meaning light) and “graphos”
(meaning writing)
The Photographer as Artist Focusing a camera on a
subject and clicking the shutter is photography as a
process. They discern the significant moment or a
unique expression, framing it in the camera
viewfinder with an eye for composition, and then
clicking the shutter, and that is photography as art.

Photography as Communication
Being a modern art form means that photography
is now viewed as being more than just beautiful. It
is also considered one of the most powerful means
of communication.

Digital Photography
Another method for creating a unique
picture is to capture it first as a digital
file. In the case of today’s electronic
technology, that would mean recording
the image using a digital camera or a
device with a built-in camera, like your
mobile phone, android device, or
tablet.

Basic Tips for Taking Good Photographs

Whether you are using a -point

guidelines for capturing a good quality photographic image:

needs
  Choose a good location. An interesting location can sometimes make the
difference between a good and a great photo.
 Check that the available background is relatively simple and not too cluttered
so that the focus will be on your chosen subject.
 Natural light in the outdoors or near a window is usually the most flattering or
effective for any kind of subject. Ideally, the best light for photos is within the
first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset
 Avoid taking shots facing the light, as this would make your subject back-lit
and most of the details would be lost in shadow.
Media-Based Art in the 21st Century
Media art is constantly expanding, and new technologies are being used at a rapid
pace.
Open-source software is popularized. It allows people to freely use and modify existing
software.
Video games and web interfaces
such as Flicker, Myspace, YouTube, Facebook,
and Second Life become new materials for artworks.
Museums and other institutions begin to develop policies and procedures for
documentation and conservation strategies specific to media artworks.

Computer Generated Images

If you want to create original images from
scratch, you may make your own illustrations
using specialized programs for image
generation and manipulation.
Examples of Programs:
Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw

There are scaled

-down versions of such programs specifically developed
for use on smaller, handheld units like your personal tablet or Android phone.
These enable you to perform virtually all of the tasks that a program like
Illustrator performs but, almost literally, in the palm of your hand. Many of these
come at a fraction of the cost of the more complex programs or, in some cases,
even for
free.
Among such programs are:
