6-3-3 Digital Art Basics

Key Concepts

Digital Tools

Digital tools are the hardware and software used to create digital art. Common tools include tablets, styluses, and computers. Tablets like Wacom allow for precise drawing, while styluses mimic the feel of traditional drawing tools.

Example: Think of digital tools as the paintbrushes and canvases of the digital world. Just as traditional artists use brushes and paper, digital artists use tablets and styluses to create their artworks.

Software Basics

Software basics involve understanding the interface and functions of digital art programs like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate. These programs offer various tools and features to create, edit, and enhance digital artworks.

Example: Imagine software basics as learning the alphabet. Just as knowing the alphabet helps you form words, understanding the basic functions of digital art software helps you create digital artworks.

Layers and Transparency

Layers and transparency are key features in digital art software. Layers allow you to work on different parts of an image without affecting others. Transparency lets you see through one layer to the one beneath it, enabling complex compositions.

Example: Think of layers as sheets of tracing paper stacked on top of each other. Each sheet can be worked on independently, and you can see through the sheets to the ones below, allowing for intricate designs.

Digital Brushes and Effects

Digital brushes and effects mimic traditional painting and drawing tools. Brushes can vary in size, shape, and texture, while effects like blur, sharpen, and filters can enhance the artwork. These tools allow for a wide range of creative possibilities.

Example: Imagine digital brushes and effects as different types of paint and tools in a painter's toolkit. Just as a painter uses different brushes and techniques, digital artists use various brushes and effects to create their artworks.

File Formats

File formats determine how digital art is saved and shared. Common formats include JPEG, PNG, and PSD. JPEG is good for photos and web images, PNG supports transparency, and PSD is ideal for layered files that need editing.

Example: Think of file formats as different types of containers for your artwork. Just as you use different containers for different foods, you use different file formats for different types of digital artworks.

Digital Composition

Digital composition involves arranging elements within a digital artwork to create a balanced and visually appealing image. Principles like balance, contrast, and emphasis guide the composition, making the artwork more engaging.

Example: Imagine digital composition as arranging flowers in a vase. Just as you arrange flowers to create a beautiful bouquet, you arrange elements in your digital artwork to create a visually appealing composition.
