Topic: Computer/Digital Arts

I. Background Information for Learners

Introduction
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.
Computer/Digital Arts
Origin and Early Stages
Computer art or digital art first came on the scene in the early 1960s. Understandably, this was due to the
technology that was constantly developing and that became available at the 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.
Also understandable was the initial reaction of the public to computer-generated art. 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.
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 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.
The Philippine Scene
In our country, Filipino artists were likewise 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 toward illustrating for international comic books. In fact, 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 animated television series produced in
different countries.
Mobile Phone Art/Computer-generated Images

1|Page
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.

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.
And 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 combination of both called “phablets”. 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 a mouse, a keyboard command, or a few taps and
drags of your finger on a touch screen.
You are probably already familiar with the following image manipulation programs and applications that run on
today’s android devices:

 Pixlr- a powerful, free online image editor


 Pic Collage- allows you to make collages incorporating photos, stickers, text, and frames
 Photo Grid- a downloadable application for android phones that allows you to make collages out of images
from your photo gallery.
 Doodle Booth- an iPad application (with a free downloadable version) that enables you to “doodle” on your
images using available stickers.
 Photo Booth- an application for taking photos and videos using an iPad or iPad mini (a version for the
iPhone, called Simple Booth, is also available)
 Magic Mirror Booth- an iPhone application that allows you to take amusing, distorted images, simulating
camera effects.
 Pic Monkey- a free online photo editing tool that provides filters, frames, text, and effects to manipulate your
images.
 Flipagram- a downloadable application that allows you to “bring your photos to life” in short videos set to
music of your choice.
 Picsart- a free photo editor and drawing application, as well as a social network for you to share your art
with others.
 Snapseed- a photo application that enables you to enhance, transform, and share your photos; a free
downloadable version for android phones is available.
 Instagram- a fast and fun way to share images with others; snap a photo, choose from among the available
filters, and share via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and more.
Many more programs and applications are constantly being developed with even more new, exciting, and fun
features and capabilities.
Each of these has an extensive array of special features you can use to modify your images. Among these are:
frames, borders, and banners: filters, cropping in different shapes, automatic collage or color change, stickers, text
bubbles: effects such as warp, skew, tunnel, fish eye, and negative; adding “spot color” to only certain elements of
an image; creating a photo montage with music.
