LEARN
Technology-Based Arts
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.

Digital Arts Defined

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.

 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 computers. So, it
is now possible for anyone to be a digital artist.

MOBILE PHONE ARTS DEFINED

The mobile phone that you

constantly hold has evolved from a
mere communication tool, to 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.

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 a 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 the mouse, a keyboard command, or a few taps
and drags of your finger on a touch screen.

 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. Just like in music, the music we hear and the
different beats produce a physical reaction from us, making us move our bodies to the rhythm,
allowing us to express the inner sensations sound produced. It is often referred to as the
principles of organization or design principles. Rhythm refers to the movement or the visual flow
within a certain piece. It is sometimes also referred to as a tempo or a beat created that invites
the eye to enter into the journey of the artist’s soul.

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. However, in art and design, balance does not necessarily
imply a complete visual or even physical equilibrium of forms around a center of the
composition, but rather an arrangement of forms that evokes the sense of balance in viewers.
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.

Approximate Symmetry - a form of balance achieved by the use of similarly balanced

compositional units on either side of a vertical axis within the picture plane.

Radial Symmetry – a form of balance that is even, radiating out from a central point
to all four quadrants of the shape’s constraining 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. There are many ways you could
go about using emphasis in your art. Usually, it involves contrasting
different elements against each other. For example, a bright red object will stand out among dull
gray background or a straight line among curve lines, or a round object among circular objects.

Proportion
Proportion is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the relationship
in scale between one element and another, or between a whole object and one of its parts.
Differing proportions with a composition can relate to different kinds of balance or symmetry,
and can help establish visual weight and depth.

Variety
Variety is the compliment to unity and harmony, and is needed to create visual interest.
Without unity and harmony, an image is chaotic and “unreadable”, without variety it is dull and
uninteresting. Good design is achieved through the balance of unity and variety; the elements
need to be alike enough so we perceive them as a belonging together and different enough to
be interesting.

Movement
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.
Below are the different examples of pictures taken by the author to show how each element is
being played.

Rhythm

The rhythm in photography

strongly structures an
image. Often, the rhythm of
a photo generates a
movement.
Picture taken at Camiguin, Whilte Island.

Balance

An image is balanced when

subject areas command a
viewer’s attention equally.

Sumilao, Bukidnon.

Emphasis
The subject used to attract the
viewer’s attention to a
particular area or object.

Proportion
Proportion is used in
photography to give the illusion
that something is different in
size, but still makes the photo
fit together.

Taken by the author at Kinawe, Libona, Bukidnon

Variety
Another element which can be
played by the photographer by
observing many elements in a
picture, it can be sizes, colors
or the subject itself.

Movement

Lines and patterns create a

sense of motion.
