Digital Art Applications

• Technology-based art is essentially computer-generated

and/or manipulated. Through the centuries, visual artists
used actual brushes and palettes, and a whole array of
paints, inks, and natural pigments applied to paper, canvas,
fabric, walls and ceilings. Today, computer artists employ
powers of image-the manipulation of 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.
