ARTS 10 TECHNOLOGY-BASED ARTS There were questions as to whether it was, in fact “true art” since (Computer/Digital Arts) it made use of electronic and mechanical devices, rather than the artist’s own hand to produce the images and effects. Within a few The module contains one main lesson, years, however, there was a general acceptance of digital art as an exciting and thought-provoking form of modern art. Today, people are Lesson 1 – Computer/Digital Arts more involved in taking pictures – selfie, groupie, formal or informal, - Mobile Phone Arts editing pictures and uploading in different social media platforms. In - Computer Generated Images fact, people are generating income in a very creative presentation of their arts through digital ways. After going through this module, you are expected to: 1. identify art elements in the technology-based production arts; and distinct characteristics of arts during the 21st century in terms of Digital Arts Defined - production, Digital Arts describe technological arts, with fluid boundaries - functionality, and offering many possible interpretations of the terminology. As such, we - range of audience reach; now prefer the terms digital art and new media which can be used 2. discusses the concept that technology is an effective and vibrant tool interchangeably with some nuances. In other words, while some works for empowering a person to express his or her ideas, goals and rely on digital tools to magnify an already-existing medium, others use advocacies which elicit immediate action; as digital technology as an intrinsic and in dissociable component in the 3. familiarize the following android phone applications: making of the artifact. - Pixlr - Pic collage - Photo grid - Doodle booth - Photo booth - Flipagram - Picsart - Snapseed - Instagram - Pic monkey 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. What is It 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 The tasks that computers. So it is now possible for anyone to be a digital artist. traditional photo MOBILE PHONE ARTS DEFINED 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. Below are some of the mobile application programs that run on today’s android devices: 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. What’s More 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. 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. Balance is 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. 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. Proportion Quarter 2 – LESSON 2: Proportion is used in photography to give the illusion that something is different in TECHNOLOGY-BASED ARTS size, but still makes the photo fit together. (Digital Photography/Video Games/Digital Painting/Imaging Videos) On the first lesson on Computer/Digital Arts, it is presumed that you Variety have learned many programs and applications that are constantly Variety is the compliment to unity and being developed with even the newest, the exciting, and the fun harmony, and is needed to create visual features and modalities using Mobile Phone Art/Computer-generated interest. Without unity and harmony, an image Images. With this, you are going to learn this time the basic guidelines is chaotic and “unreadable”, without variety it for capturing a quality photographic image using digital photography. is dull and uninteresting. Good design is achieved through the balance of unity and Digital camera is a camera that captures photographs in digital variety; the elements need to be alike enough memory. It can display images on a screen immediately after being so we perceive them as a belonging together recorded. It also stores and delete images from memory. Many digital and different enough to be interesting. cameras can also record moving videos with sound. Movement The Different Parts of a Camera 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.  jumping through playback images.

The Main Types of Digital Photography in Use Today  Wildlife/Animal Photography- These are photos of pets, animals or Portrait Photography- These are photographs of poised and candid wildlife. people. Landscape/Travel Photography- These are photos of places. Fashion Photography – isa genre of photography which is devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items. Still Life Photography- These are photos of stationary objects.
