What are the IT systems? IT system 1: The earliest graphical manipulation program. Sketchpad allowed the user to manipulate objects on a Cathod Ray Tube. Early tablets were commercially successful and used in CAD programs. Modern day tablets are the tools of choice by digital painters. WACOM is the industry leader in tablets which can range in size from 4” x 6” all the way to 12” x 19” and are less than an inch thick. Many artists prefer using graphics tablets to create digital paintings instead of using a mouse.

IT system 2: The idea of using tablets to communicate directions to a computer firstly was used in 1968 and developed to program. Digitizers were used as the input device for many high-end CAD systems as well as bundled with PC based CAD software like Pro-desktop.

IT system 3: The first commercial program that allowed users to design, draw, and manipulate object was the program MacPaint. The ability to freehand draw and create graphics with this program made it the top program of 1984.

**Kid Pix** It is a paint program, which made painting easier for children to use MacPaint. The program was originally created in black in white, and after several revisions was released in color. Kid Pix was one of the first commercial programs to integrate color and sound in a creative format. While the Kid Pix was intentionally created for children, it became a useful tool for introducing adults to the computer as well.



The Social and Ethical Issues
 * This programs can help children to train their ability to comunicate with new technologies;
 * Can help people to design faster and cheaper;
 * Time consuming;

Economical issues – Price
 * This is really expensive soft ware, so not all people can afford such an expensive programs.

Legality - Copy rights
 * As long as this programs cost alot, pirates started to make the copies of the licensed files, so actually still the programs, so this affecting the economical issues, companies wealth.

Privacy
 * Paintings can be easily stolen as soon as this data is saved on the computer without good protection.

What are the benefits of digital art?

Digitally painted images have the flexibility of being either uploaded onto a computer for viewing or simply printed directly onto paper for display. Digital painting has had a large impact on speed painting. While the name may imply a time limit for an artist to create an image, speed paintings on the internet are time lapst videos, where each frame consists of a step in the process and are then played at normal viewing speed, creating the illusion that the painting is being completed in a short amount of time. Artist who digitally speed paint usually post the videos online on their sites, in blogs, and have even generated a community of sorts on [|www.youtube.com]. The ability to capture every stroke of the painting process in this digital format is a unique advantage of digital painting. The nature of digital painting has allowed facilitated the ability to learn how to digitally paint. Tutorials are easy to document, create and share on the internet, so with the given tools and resources anyone can learn. The some famoust movies were made by this technique.
