Lessons in this module
- Lesson 1: The Influence of Technology in the Evolution of Various Forms of Arts. How technology changes the way art is made, shown, sold, and protected. It ends with a craft-making activity using local materials.
- Lesson 2: Digital Art Applications. Mobile photography and the phone and tablet apps used to edit photos, make collages, and draw digitally.
- Lesson 3: Computer Art Applications. Computer programs such as Photoshop, Stencyl, Twine, Game Maker, and Snapseed, plus digital painting and video.
- Lesson 4: The Artist in Me. A review of the apps, then a write-up, a family evaluation, a reflection essay, and a step-by-step Photoshop project.
How technology influences art
Artists now use cameras, computers, Photoshop, and other photo or video editing software to create and edit their work. Museums and galleries also show art on digital platforms. Artists and gallery owners can sell directly to buyers without a middleman. The module names four influences:
| Influence | What it means |
|---|---|
| Environment impact | Artists can sketch, edit, and preview changes before making a final product, so they use fewer materials. Art can be sent online through apps like ArtMatch, saving on transport. |
| Accessibility | People who cannot visit galleries can see and buy art through Google Art Project, Artsy.com, Amazon Art, and similar apps. |
| The business of arts | Selling art becomes more open and streamlined, and online art sales keep growing. |
| Security | Scanners and sensors protect valuable works in museums, galleries, and auction houses from theft and forgery. |
Digital and computer art applications

For learners: Write your answers on separate sheets of paper, not on the module. Submit your outputs the way your teacher tells you, online or on paper. If you have no gadget, Activity 3 lets you paste scenic photos from magazines instead.
For parents: You may explain the steps, but let your child do the artwork. The module also asks a family member to rate the finished artwork in the “Family Matters!” activity.
For teachers: Notes to the Teacher suggest using the activities as performance tasks. The answer key section includes rubrics that score style, craftsmanship, and creativity. Check the pretest answer key against the items before using it, since some keyed answers do not match the lesson content.

Lesson 1 The Influence of Technology in the Evolution of Various Forms of Arts
What’s In
In Module 2, you learned about the roles and functions of modern technology on different artforms where the two (2) functions of arts were discussed namely the motivated and non-motivated functions. You also analyzed how artworks were derived from traditions and history and compared the characteristics of 21st Century artworks based on processes, themes and styles.
What’s New
Picture Analysis
Directions: Analyze the picture of the digital output below based on the elements, principles, roles and functions, and characteristics of arts. Write your analysis on a ½ sheet of paper. (Duration: 15 mins.)

What is It
Technology influences different aspects in the society specifically in arts, the way we create and appreciate every masterpiece. Artists usually use cameras, laptops/computers, photoshop and other specialized photo or video editing applications or software to create and edit their works of art.
Artists are not the only ones who use technology in a new way. Public museums and art galleries also use digital platforms in showcasing art pieces. In terms of publication and selling of artworks, artists and gallery owners deal their pieces without the mediation or interference of middleman-agents.

Digital artwork by Mr. Christian Rey R. Ricarze
Below are the influences of technology on the evolution of various forms of arts:
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT
Technology helps reduce waste in the industry. Because of technology, artists can create, share and send their artworks easier and faster. Artists who use technology can create sketches, edit pictures and preview design changes before creating a final product. This allows the artists to use fewer materials in their creation.
With the new normal, artists and gallery owners have an open access to the buyers of art pieces that saves costs and modes of transportation. They can easily deliver or send their products online through apps like ArtMatch which permits the clients to choose the piece they like.
ACCESSIBILITY
Technology is making art more accessible to the public, especially to those who have limited knowledge of art or who cannot afford either time or money to visit galleries or museums. There are various applications that can help clients in choosing or buying arts of their personal tastes such as Google Art Project, Artsy.com, Amazon Art, Article and various photoshop applications.
THE BUSINESS OF ARTS
Technology has a great impact on art business as well as on societal accessibility. Technology makes art sellers more accessible, transparent and makes sales process more streamlined. The market of online art sales has been growing in line with high demand from international markets and increasing access to internet-based retail outlets.
SECURITY
Security is an important area in technology that has a big impact in the arts world. Museums, galleries, auction houses and even the pieces themselves are at risk with threats such as theft, forgeries and even a simple touch. Security scanners and sensors are developed in order to help, preserve and secure the most precious and valuable works from theft and other forms of illegal actions.
What’s More
Activity 1
Craft Making
Directions: Create an artwork using local materials with the application of the principles and techniques of 21st century artwork.
Lesson 2
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.
Technology-based art includes Computer/Digital Art such as Mobile phone photos/videos, Digital Photography, Digital Painting, Computer Generated Images, Videos (TV and Film).

Lesson 3: Computer Art Applications
What Is It
[illustration: magnifying glass over a hand]
COMPUTER PROGRAMS OR APPLICATIONS
We are now in the computer era. Everything could be possibly done with the aid of our devices. You have already learned about the different digital programs/applications in the previous lessons. For you to learn more about the different computer applications/programs, you must have to experience doing it. These could not only be done for school purposes; it could also be used in earning a living. Get ready because we will now have step by step procedures in using the different applications. Compose yourself; start conceptualizing a topic that you could use in making your artworks which could be exhibited before the quarter ends. Make sure that the medium that you are going to use is suitable to your topic so that your audience could understand the message that you want to convey in your artwork.
Examples of Computer Programs/Applications
Photoshop is Adobe’s photo editing, image creation and graphic design software. The software provides many image editing features for raster (pixel-based) images as well as vector graphics. It uses a layer-based editing system that enables image creation and alters multiple overlays that support transparency. Layers can also act as masks or filters altering underlying colors. Shadows and other effects can be added to the layers. Photoshop actions include automation features to reduce the need for repetitive tasks. An option known as Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) allows users to work on content from any computer.
