Diverse : An artist's view to Digital and Traditional
As for this blog, we've created an informative video that differentiates and describes traditional and digital art's fundamentals, history, and background as it goes on. I, Jera Mae Berja of MMA 2 will also show traditional artworks of mine later on Jezekiah Panis, will show her digital artworks as well. And Ken Henry Eusibio summarizing the information in the video.

History of Traditional Arts
Contemporary-Traditional Art refers to art produced at the present period of time that reflects the current culture by utilizing classical techniques in drawing, painting, and sculpting. Practicing artists are mainly concerned with the preservation of time-honored skills in creating works of figurative and representational forms of fine art as a means to express human emotions and experiences.
PENCIL DRAWING is a form of visual art in which an artist uses instruments to mark paper or other two-dimensional surfaces. Drawing instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, various kinds of paints, inked brushes, colored pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, erasers, markers, styluses, and metals (such as silverpoint).
Based on my experience in traditional arts in drawing I can say for me it is easy with all the different mediums because obviously all of us when it comes to Arts we start with learning drawing before we can do something because Drawing was the first skill we learned Before we get into painting, sculptor and so on.
also, many artists begin with pencil drawings which can be a great starting point to draw different shapes, forms, and lines. This simple exercise will help you to look closer at the shapes you make. You can use normal pencils, color pencils, graphite, and try to use them all in the same drawing to see and compare the different effects.
PAINTING the expression of ideas and emotions, with the creation of certain aesthetic qualities, in a two-dimensional visual language. The elements of this language—its shapes, lines, colors, tones, and textures—are used in various ways to produce sensations of volume, space, movement, and light on a flat surface.
One of my favorite mediums in art is painting because I can express my feelings/emotions on my canvas by overlaying or combining colors of acrylic or oil paint as well as textures, lines, and everything. that I can
try to convey and execute my intended artwork. I believe Every painting is different, made with different intentions, themes, and purposes.
This painting has 3 mediums that are...
Watercolor painting:
Just experiment with different brushes and colors. This exercise will help to understand how watercolors flow on the surface of your painting. It will also allow to see how watercolors work on different The surface of your painting
Acrylic Painting:
This is different from watercolors and acrylics are another popular choice for many artists since the sixties. Acrylics can be diluted and used as thinly or thickly as you want. Try to paint different shapes just to give you a better feel of this great paints.
Oil Painting:
The first thing to understand about oil paints may emit toxic fumes, particularly when using other mediums like turpentine (highly flammable). So you need to be careful where you will paint and make sure that you work in a well-ventilated space.
Oil painting is absolutely great but needs a lot of learning and understanding of all the material you will be using. It also needs a lot of practice to see how oil paints work on the surface of your painting.
SCULPTURE is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving and modelling, in stone, metal, ceramics, wood, and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been almost complete freedom of materials and processes.
The experience and perspective of the Artist
My experience overall in my traditional Arts journey everything is Fun because you are free to create arts with only your hands as if there is no other use of technology but only materials.
I can say that traditional arts are not easy either because before you learn, you will make mistakes over and over again, which will change your entire canvas or your work will be messy.
As you begin to draw and paint, understand that it is about your personal expression and your personal feelings. If you like to draw straight lines, then draw a lot of straight lines, and if you like red and blue colours, then use this colors in various shapes It develop your drawings and paintings from within what you like and feels good to you. Painting is all about self-expression and self-discovery. Understand those two very well at the beginning and you will be on the right track to progress with your art.
History of digital Arts
The first use of the term digital art was in the early 1980s when computer engineers devised a paint program which was used by the pioneering digital artist Harold Cohen. This became known as AARON, a robotic machine designed to make large drawings on sheets of paper placed on the floor.
Let's sum it up first. Digital art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process.
The experience and perspective of the Artist
My experience with digital, as it is with all of us, of course it's always hard in the beginning.
I'm originally a traditional artist ever since, and starting out digital artwork has never been on my mind. At first I was just testing out what my artwork would look like if I do digital. And later on, I find digital art efficient and fun. My digital art journey hasn't been long since I started last year. So I must say that I'm still lacking in all things, even the fundamentals. I still make mistakes, and sometimes forget the fundamentals pf digital arts, but as per se, I still enjoy making digital arts.
