WHAT IS ALL ABOUT…

TECHNOLOGY-
BASED ART?
TECHNOLOGY-BASED ART

INTRODUCTION
Technology-Based Art is essentially
computer-generated or manipulated.
Today’s computer artists employ 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.

make use of electronic and

than the artist’s own hand. It
was first came on the scene
in the early 1960s.
 COMPUTER/DIGITAL ARTS
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-GENERATED IMAGES
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.
 Personal photographs and videos can be
manipulated with a myriad special effects, both
visual as well as sound and music.
 You are probably already familiar
with the following image
manipulation programs and
applications that run on todays
IOS and android devices:

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.
Among such programs are:

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)

It is used for producing icons, graphical
design elements, and art for user
interface components and mockups.
 PAINT.NET It is a professional quality
vector graphics software
which runs on Linux, Mac
OS X and Windows desktop
Paint.net is a freeware computers
raster graphics editor
program for Microsoft
Windows, developed on
the .NET Framework.
Xara Designer Pro+ is an image

photo editing and vector
illustration tools created by
British software company Xara.
Xara Xtreme LX was an early
open source version for Linux.

GRADE 10 - ARTS EDUCATION (QUARTER II)

PHOTOGRAPHY
refers to capturing and storing images
using digital technology instead of
traditional film.
 STUDIO SHODWE

INTRODUCTION
Another means of generating an original image 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

01
 STUDIO SHODWE

LOOKING BACK…
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. 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 a photographic image

02
WHAT IS A DARK ROOM?
Digital Photography

The photographer (or a commercial developing

service) would then have to process the exposed
film in a special enclosed space known as “dark
room” — and only then would the recorded images
be seen.

03
POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA
It 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
adjustment.

05
POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA
It also allows the user to
immediately review the photos
taken without waiting for a
complex developing process –
and to delete any unsatisfactory
images while storing the good
ones for future needs.

06
DIGITAL SINGLE LENS REFLEX CAMERA
It is widely known as “DSLR”
camera, this 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.

07
 DIGITAL SINGLE LENS REFLEX CAMERA
Many professional photographers remain
loyal to the traditional (i.e., nondigital)
single lens reflex camera which still uses
film. They believe that film photography
has an authenticity and genuineness to its
images that is lost in the artificial and
automatic manipulations of digital
photography.
