What is It

Creating Graphic Arts with the Computer

City of Good Character 4

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 We all know that computers have many possibilities to offer, you can
play games, videos, browse the internet, and even draw or create many
kinds of artworks . Today along with the traditional art, digital art has
become very popular since the same artistic thinking and skills are applied
by the artist. The only difference lies in the medium with which the artist
utilizes creating the artwork that is no longer pencil and paper but the
computer.

In this lesson, you will revisit the different elements and principles of
art and how they apply to digital art. You will also be introduced to the world
of digital and how and for what it is used today. In addition, you will be
introduced to some of the common software used for digital art. An important
part of this lesson is a presentation and discussion of the features and basic
tools of drawing software.

Look at the pictures above. One of the pictures was created by

computer and the other was drawn by hand. Can you tell which is which?
Write down your notebook about the following questions and discuss them
with your parents or friends.

● How are the drawings similar and how are they different?
● How were the elements and principles applied in each drawing?

City of Good Character 5

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 You have seen how the elements of art like lines, shapes, colors, and
textures are used and combined to create wonderful images, paintings, and
sculptures. You have learned how to appreciate harmony and balance in an
artwork or how to use repeated lines to create rhythm and patterns in a
drawing or painting or print work.

You have seen how the elements and principles apply to traditional
art or art created by hand using a medium like paint, charcoal, pencil, or
clay. Starting with this lesson and onwards, you will see how the same
elements and principles as well as the different art processes still apply even
with the use of technology.

Computer Generated Visual Media

In visual media, computers are used today for:

● Desktop Publishing (magazines, books, newspapers, brochures,

flyers, pamphlets, and other print media)
● Graphic Design (television commercials, t-shirt designs,
company and organizational logos, and more)

2D Art

This is imitating traditional art using computer graphics software.

Drawings, portraits, even landscapes can be created using the computer and
then, printed on paper to produce two-dimensional art.

3D Graphics/3D Art (Still and Animated)

3D Graphics are achieved via the process of designing objects from

geometric and polygonal shapes, or more technically termed as NURBS
curves to create three-dimensional objects and scenes. These are used in
various media such as film, television, print, animation, rapid prototyping,
games/simulations, and special visual effects.

 Pioneers of digital art in the 1950s-70s were Desmond Paul Henry, A.
Michael Noll, Nam June Paik, John Whitney, and Charles Csuri.

● Top VFX companies- Pixar/Industrial Light and Magic/WETA

● Top Video Game Companies- Square Enix/Kojima

Notable Filipino digital artists include Anthony Ocampo, Vincent Rhafael

Aseo, Antoio Gorordo, and Rodolfo Samonte among many others.

Definition of Terms for Drawing Software

Have you ever tried using computer software to draw something?

Although most software is expensive, there are those that you can download
for free. Once you use them, you will find out that most features that allow
you to create lines and shapes, and change these lines to thick lines, and
vice versa are common. You can even erase and do it over again. Study the
following and familiarize yourself with some of the tools found in most
drawing software.

City of Good Character 7

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 Basic Drawing Tools

● The Pencil Tool is used to draw free lines onto the picture.
● The Paint Bucket is used to fill an area with a solid color or pattern.
● The Square Tool is used to create perfect square or rectangular
shapes. By changing the line thickness in the Line Tool, you could
change the thickness of the square.
● The Line Tool is used to create perfectly straight lines.
● The Circle Tool is similar to the Square Tool, and is used to create
perfect circles. Thickness can be changed using the Line Tool.

Selection and Erasing Tools

● The Moving Truck tool allows various parts of the image to be

selected and moved around the canvas. There are different shapes
and sizes such as circles or rectangles that can be selected.

City of Good Character 8

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 ● Erasing Tools provide several different ways to erase various parts,
or all, of your drawing. For example, the popular stick of dynamite
would cause the entire image to explode in alternating black and
white concentric circles.

● The Dye Tool is used to pick out colors already used somewhere in
the canvas.
Text Insertion

● The Text Tool includes “rubber stamps” of the letters of the

alphabet, which tell the name of the letter when selected.

● The Typing Tool has basic functions that add text to the image in
different fonts and various sizes.

● Opacity gives the degree to which something reduces the passage of

light.

● Undo lets one cancel, annul, or reverse an action or its effect.

You will notice that you can create all the elements of art such as
lines, shapes, color, and texture using the tools available in most drawing
software. By practicing you can become better at it and create digital art
much like the way you do it in traditional art.

What’s More

A. Using the Magic Slate program, draw the following elements:

1. Straight lines (horizontal, vertical, diagonal)

2. Curved lines (spiral, wavy, swirl)

City of Good Character 9

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 3. Geometric shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle, square) in different
sizes.

You can use other devices such as a tablet or a laptop with a drawing
software that you are familiar with to work on this exercise.

Print your work and paste it on your notebook. If a computer and other
devices are not available, use a pen to draw the different lines and shapes in
your notebook.

A. (Optional if you have available gadget)

Using cellphone, computers or any gadget, draw one object

that you like most .color it and send it to the messenger of
your teacher.

What I Have Learned

• People can create artworks with the computer.

• Digital art is a general term for a wide variety of artistic

works and methods that use digital technology.

• Lines, shapes, colors, and textures are elements common

to both traditional handmade art and modern digital art

• The principles of art, rhythm, harmony, contrast, and

emphasis apply even with the use of technology.
