DIGITAL ART.......REAL ART?

I feel that digital art is real art as that it can express emotions and stories, just non digital art can.

Digitally created art can help increase that it can also create emotion, show emotion and can also tell stories. So in my opinion digitally created art is REAL ART.



This digital art work was done on artpad.art.com
The site is quiet easy to use i had no difficulties in making my artwork and the tool facilities are great.
I used different sized paint brushes and changed the capacity.


Art that is created on the computer has quiet a lot of advantages as you can always go back and edit your work. There are also many tools that can be used such as the cloning tool and the copy and pasting procedure ETC. There are many other tools which cannot be used on non digital art. Digital art can also be sent through email as where as you have a canvas and paint brushes you would have to carry it with you everywhere to your designated spot to show the public your artwork.

INKSCAPE

Inkscape is a drwing program not a painting program.
The difference between the two are that with drawing programs (e.g. inkscape) you can seperate objects which also allows you to edit them anytime, however the disadvantage of using drawing programs are that they will look like CARTOONS.
Painting programs (e.g. paint and photoshop) is that you have to edit each pixel and there are no objecs however the advantage to using paint programs are that they are photo REALISTIC.

Digital Media

5 forms of Digital Media

• Digital Camera
• Digital Radio
• Digital audio
• Video games
• Internet

The system which digital data is based on is BINARY NUMERICAL SYSTEM and the two numbers which are used to code all digital data are 1 and 0.

What is a bite? What is a byte?

A byte is a unit which is built up of bits. Bits are the smaller units of information.

Sampling rate is the frequency of sampling per unit time.

This is one example of a sampling signal (on the left).

The amount of bits per pixel rely on the colour depth of the photo or picture. The more bits there are on one pixel the more colour and the more clearer photo or picture is.

2 bit picture

4 bit picture (below)

8 bit picture (below)

24 bit picture (below)

The reason behind why sampling rate only applies to movement and not still media is that is can't make still media move. However colour depth works on both movement and still media as they both contain colour.
