    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    When a computer becomes an artist's paintbrush, digital art is born. It's defined as art that exist because of technology. You come across some form of digital art every day, you just might not be aware of it.

    History

    According to Herbert Frank, a famous scientist who wrote the 1985 article "The New Visual Age: The Influence of Computer Graphics on Art and Society," digital art was frowned upon by artistic crowds and wasn't considered a real art until the 1980s.

    Drawings

    Digital art is now used every day among students and professionals. A computer drawing such as a chart, map or graph falls under the category of digital art.

    Virtual Art

    The Austin Museum of Digital Art indicates software, edited photos, paintings designed solely using technology, and graphic designs are all various forms of digital art.

    Games

    Every video game or 3D graphic, whether still or animated, falls under the umbrella of digital art.

    Music

    Digital art is not confined to all things visual; music or sounds edited with the aid of technology are included as well.
