Task 3
- 1. Task 3 Pixel Art This is a form of digital art; it is created through the use of raster graphic software. The term pixel art was first published by Adele Goldberg and Robert Flegal of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1982. Image filters such as blurring or tools with automatic anti-aliasing are considerednot valid tools for pixel art, as such tools calculate new pixel values automatically, contrasting with the precise manual arrangement of pixels associated with pixel art. Drawings usually start with the line art, which is the basic line that defines the character, building or anything else the artist is intending to draw. Line arts are usually traced over scanned drawings and are often shared among other pixel artists.
- 2. Concept Art Concept art is a form of illustration where the main goal is to convey a visual representation of a design, idea, and/or mood for use in films, video games, animation, or comic books before it is put into the final product. Concept art in preproduction design maybe ambiguous, but it could have started as part of automotive design for concept cars or part of the animation industry. You can find reference of concept art as far back as the 1930s this shows how long this has been used for. A concept artist is an individual who generates a visual design for an item, character, or area that does not yet exist. Concept art ranges from photorealistic to traditional painting techniques. This is facilitated by the use of special software by which an artist is able to fill in even small details pixel by pixel, or utilise the natural paint settings to imitate real paint.
- 3. Texture Art In the visual arts, texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional design and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties. Actual texture or tactile texture, are the variations upon a surface. This can include, but is not limited to, fur, wood grain, sand, smooth surface of canvas or metal, glass, and leather. Specific use of a texture can affect the smoothness that an artwork conveys.The use of both can give a sense of personality to a design. Visual texture is the illusion of having physical texture. Every material and every support surface has its own visual texture and needs to be taken into consideration before creating a composition.
- 4. Background Graphics The background graphics are the graphics that are used in the background of games.
