A Little History of Digital Art

What is digital art? Well, the term can apply to any art that has been made or presented using any form of digital technology. As such, the term came about when these new technologies were coming into fruition in the 1980s. This artform exploded in the early 1980s, given that this was when computer engineers were developing the first digital paint programmes. These new methods were taken up by certain early pioneers of the medium such as renowned digital artist Harold Cohen.

Digital art has of course developed and expanded over the years as new technologies have multiplied and improved. Today, digital art might refer to computer generated art. But it also might refer to hand drawn or painted art which has been scanned or downloaded onto a computer and then manipulated digitally, so that it is more of a hybrid process. There is also a whole world of digital art which cuts and pastes images from different sources to create a collage effect.
