Art Elements Using New Technologies

You have just identified that lines, shape, color, form, value, space, and
texture made up the image above. These are what we call elements of arts.

Do you want to apply these elements to your gadgets? Surely you can!
You can apply this using your laptop, personal computers, and cellular
phones. But for those who do not have their gadgets, don’t you worry you can
still be part of this activity

There are computer hardware and software that you can use to create
your own artwork. Software is a program that runs a computer and perform
a certain function. One of these is the MS Paint.

Microsoft Paint or MS Paint is a software

that can be used to draw lines and shapes,
color and even edit pictures from your cellular
phone and computers using different
commands.

Computer hardware is any device, object or something that you can hold
by your hands to operate. Such for example the laptop, mouse and
cellular phone.

your computer, then type the word
Paint.

appears, click it. It will lead you to
the whole MS Paint features.

3. This is now the whole feature

of MS Paint, where you can
start to create artwork. Start
moving your mouse to the
different shapes, colors,
brushes, and tools so that you

 Let Us Reflect

There are a lot of designs and symbols that we can see around us. Some
are familiar like street signs, traffic symbols, names of stores, and many more.
The things around us, like trees, flowers, and animals are God’s creation,
God’s work of art.

People draw, paint, and create something. These artworks are human
expressions. They show meaning and represent something great. Have you
ever wondered how these artworks were created?

The elements of Arts that you have learned in the previous module also
apply in making and creating artwork, using new technologies like your
laptop, cellular phones and gadgets. Art Elements are important because we
cannot create art without using them. They are like building blocks, arranged
properly to be able to come up with a beautiful design.
