Abstract

Digital painting is a genre, in which traditional painting technique is applied using digital technology, and it includes the possibility of interaction and motion aspects. Currently the term “Digital Painting” is being used to refer to still images only, and it is defined as a plane art form that is painted and produced digitally without any relation to traditional painting. However, in this paper, I use the term “Digital Painting” to include moving pictures as well as still images. Therefore digital painting, as defined in this paper, includes traditional art work made to move, as well as pieces created with traditional painting technique using non-photorealistic rendering. This paper is a study on the inter-relationship between the definition, characteristics, and elements of a new artistic genre, “Digital Painting.” Since the advent of digital computers, many artists have produced media art work, but there has been a lack of pictorial analysis of their work, which is a combined product of engineering and art. Therefore in this paper, I explored the pictorial aspect of media art in depth. There are many different forms of art that makes use of digital technology, and different names are used for such form of art depending on the rendering technique or production process. In this paper, I defined a set of art pieces with consistent common characteristics as “Digital Painting” through analysis of media art in an objective framework. Furthermore, I tried to take a more fundamental approach on the subject of integration of art and engineering by examining the history of digital painting within the field of media art, and also by analyzing various elements of digital painting and their inter-relationships.
