A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

Digital art is a form of art created using digital tools and techniques. Artists often work with layers in their digital artwork, allowing them to manipulate different elements of their composition independently. The opacity of these layers can be adjusted to control how much they overlap or blend with other elements. When creating digital art, resolution is crucial, as it determines the quality and detail of the final image. Rendering is the process of creating a realistic or stylized image from a digital model or sketch. Each image is composed of millions of tiny dots called pixels, which contribute to the overall quality and appearance of the artwork. As technology continues to advance, digital art is likely to play an even greater role in the world of visual arts, offering artists new and exciting possibilities for creative expression.
