WHAT TO KNOW

1. Briefly describe how technology made—and continues to make—digital art possible.

- The ever-expanding powers of image manipulation programs and applications to create
their works which can appear in an entire range of media—whether as a physical output or a
virtual experience.

2. Was digital art readily accepted and recognized as “true art” when it emerged in the 1960s?
What was the reason for this?
- Yes, 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

3. What devices can now be used to create digital art? Do you own one such device?
- electronic and mechanical devices

4. Name one or two computer programs that can enable you to create an original illustration
from scratch.
- Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw

WHAT TO KNOW

1. What is mobile phone art?

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

2. What technology has made this possible?

- These could be personal photographs and videos that you can manipulate with a 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.
3. What is the raw material or starting point for creating an artwork on a cellphone?
From a mere communication tool, into a creative device that allows you to generate original
works of art for an entire range of purposes.

4. How is this initial material then transformed into an original piece of art?
There are scaled-down versions of such programs specifically developed for use on smaller,
handheld units like your personal tablet or android phone.

5. Name some programs and/or applications that can be used to create art on a mobile
phone?
Photo Grid, Magic Mirror Booth, Pixl, Instagram

6. Aside from using mobile phone software, what is another means of creating art from scratch
using computer technology?
To create original images from scratch, you may make your own illustrations using
specialized programs for image generation and manipulation.

7. What is the raw material or starting point for creating an artwork on a computer?
If you want to create original images from scratch, you may make your own illustrations
using specialized programs for image generation and manipulation

8. How do you transform a digital image into a work of art using a computer?
Many more such programs and applications are constantly being developed with even more
new, exciting, and fun features and capabilities.

9. Name some computer programs that are designed for this purpose
- Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program)

WHAT TO KNOW

1.What is digital photography?

Prior to the development of digital photography, cameras were essentially sealed boxes that would
allow a split-second entry of light to strike a section of light- sensitive film inside it
2. Briefly describe the basic technology behind the earliest cameras.
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.

3. In place of the previous light-sensitive film, how are today’s digital images captured and
stored?
The result was that whatever was in front of the camera at the precise instant that the light
entered it would be imprinted on that exposed section of film as a photographic image.

4. What are the two main types of digital photography in use today?
Point-and-shoot, DSLR

5. Why is one of them called point-and-shoot photography?

A “point-and-shoot” type of digital camera which automatically makes all the adjustments
in lighting, focus, zoom-in and zoom-out, even removal of “red eye” with the user being
given some leeway for slight adjustments.

6. What does the acronym DSLR stand for? Cite two or three differences between these forms
of digital photography.
- digital single lens reflex (DSLR).
- This also provides the film-less and instant review features of a “point-and-shoot” type of
digital camera, but gives the photographer much more artistic freedom and control to select
the camera settings to create a desired final image with the preferred visual effects
- Many professional photographers remain loyal to the traditional single lens reflex camera
which still uses film.
- film photography has an authenticity and genuineness to its images that is lost in the
artificial and automatic manipulations of digital photography.

WHAT TO KNOW

1. How has computer technology contributed to the development of video games?

A major component of such entertainment is in the form of video games of every
conceivable genre, subject matter, and skill level.

2. Name some of the most popular types of video games today.

- DOTA, LOL, Pokemon Go

3. On what kinds of devices can such games be played?

Computer devices, electronic devices
4. Can a young person like you create your own video game? If yes, how?
YES, Online tutorials and guides are available on sites like e-how, Instructables and You
Tube.Plus there are available programs that can be downloaded and used immediately, with
no need for prior knowledge on coding or web development.

5. What is digital painting?

Digital painting is a method of creating an artwork using a computer.

6. Briefly describe the two different types of digital painting presented.

- 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.
- Digital painting also refers to a technique using a graphics software program to create an
artwork that is totally virtual.

7. Briefly explain today’s video technology.

- A major component of such entertainment is in the form of video games of every
conceivable genre, subject matter, and skill level.

8. How do you use video technology personally? For school purposes?

- These range from educational games and mind twisters, to building and construction
games, to ones that entail physical interaction by the users (sports, fitness, dance).

9. How is it used in modern life?

- The explosion of social media in recent decades has provided a new platform for video
materials targeting the “netizens” of today.

10. What valuable purposes do “imaging videos” serve in the fields of medicine and science?
- You may be familiar with 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 in order to diagnose and treat diseases and injuries
