Draaaawwwwing tools............in word!

Now Drawing.....a 3D image!well what should I do? Uh I changed my mind!i'm going to draw a boy instead. I hope it truns out well. I also hope it isn't hard to draw in word! Now, let's see, I drew a boy wearing a hat,an arrow as a mouth--> he also has overalls and lightning surrounding him! Sabine helped me think of what to put in the callouts so ye,when you do read it-i didn't think of that!even though it is pretty clever.
Ok so here I go, hope you like it!=D

BAM!!! as if that isnt cool

LOOKIE here!hehe look what I made! It's 8 of lcubs, isn't it?
It took some time?but its done!yay.-thanks to Sabine for showing me how!
Both the 24-bit bitmap and Monochrome bitmap look the same!but the size when saved is different? Monochrome bitmap is smaller when you save the document it is 21.8kb. The one I have used here is the 24-bit bitmap which is 281kb!hope you enjoy.=D
The first thing I did when making my 8 of clubs card on paint was changing the size of the page, and making it 10 by 6. Then I typed the number 8! Then I started with the clubs, it's kinda hard to get right but you just have to keep you hand steady! after I drew a club I copied and pasted a few more,rotating some on a 180 degree angle. wow, not that heard is it? hehe
So can you do what I can do? You probably can but still, mines better!=D
thumbs up to Sabine for finishing this first!(Y) good job!

Digital Art! Do you think its really art?

Is Digital Art and Art the same thing?Some people consider digital art cheating as the computer does all the work for you but is it really cheating?
According to wikipedia.com Digital Art 'refers to art created on a computer in digital form.'
On the other hand the definition of the word Art according to onelook.com is 'the creation of beautiful or significant things.'

I believe, whether art is being created by an artistic hand or digitally on the computer it is still the SAME but just done in different forms.I also believe that art is art and art and it does come in many forms and are displayed and viewed differently, but digital art is just the same, it is made and viewed differently and can be identical to a peice of artwork in an art gallery but is is on the computer and digitally made.

Digital art may be made differently on the computer but does that mean it's not the same as art?OF COURSE NOT!!! Digital art is fully art!There's nothing not art about it? Should it really not be taken as a form of art? I can't even believe that people can call painting on a canvas....ART and other forms of art such as fashion designing, decorating is just the same as graphic designing on the comptuer or........DIGITAL ART. You can't really compare the Mona Lisa to a painting done digitally,because the Mona Lisa is a famous painting but who says that artists who create masterpieces on the computer aren't as good!?Nowa days everything is digitallised but I still think painting on canvas is so cool and different but people should also aknowledge artists who sit behind their computer for hours perfecting their masterpieces and holding a mouse instead of a paint brush!


Lookie here!it's an image made from digital art:and here's in image from the traditional art,canvas,painting.


It is so, so important that people understand that digital art is just as good if not better than painting,it may be easier but still needs hard work to get the work to turn out the way you want it!Some of the advantages of using digital art is that you can rub out any mistakes you've made,whether it be in pencil, paint or any other form of digital art.That's right, you can rub out anything you don't need or don't want,amazing isn't it? Also when using digital art you don't have to wait till your artwork dries,you can just save it if you haven't got the time to finish it right now and continue on with it later or when you have time!See you don't have to worry about spilling something on it either because it is like always making a hard copy!You don't have to start over if it gets a stain on it,you also don't have to wait hours till it is dry and ready to sell or hang!

Believe it or not but being a digital art artist is hard work as you really need a steady hand,so you can have perfect strokes(if you move your hand just a bit too much,you can have a disaster and have lines all over you page,of course there is always undo!)but still you need to be carefull with your hand and mouse,unless you are doing abstract art!which is awsome too!Another skill would be to know where everything is and what it means, incase you accidentally do something wrong,or it is pretty obvious that you should know some information about the software and items you use in digital art! There are many more skills too.hehe

Digital media

Dital mobile phones, digital televisions, the internet-WWW, digital video, computers, and videogames are just a few of the many forms of digital media that surrounds us in this modern day world.

Pingala's binary system is what bases the digital data. The two numbers that code all digital data are numbers 0 and 1.

Bit-noun: a unit of measurement of information (from Binary + digIT); the amount of information in a system having two equiprobable states.(http://www.onelook.com/?w=bit&ls=a)
Byte-noun: a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one character of alphanumeric data) processed as a single unit of information(
http://www.onelook.com/?w=byte&ls=a)
Sampling rate finds the number of samples per second taken from a continuous signal. An image of sampling rate is:



Colour Depth describes the number of bites used to represent a colour. It effects the apperance of an image, the higher the colour depth the broder range of distinct colour. Here are a few pictures showing the difference in an image when the bits are different:
This image shows an image with 1 bit.

This image shows 4 bits.

This image shows 8 bits:

You can clearly see that the more bits an image has the clearer it is.The higher the bit number the brighter the colour map but the clolurs may be limited.Bits also help the clearness and the texture of an image.

Sampling rate only effects video as it is simply the number of samples of the audio signal taken per seconds, this means that it can only pick up sounds or audio signal sent by a video but not still media as there is no sound but just an image. Colour depth shows both images and videos as it is only the amount of bits in a colour,the higher the bit the stronger and brighter an image.
