Which of the following best describes the impact of vector graphics introduced in programs like Illustrator?

• They allowed precise color blending in illustrations.

• They enabled art that could be scaled infinitely without losing quality, essential for logos and branding.

• They reduced the need for traditional sculpture tools.

• They offered greater pixel control for digital paintings.

The introduction of the undo feature in digital software transformed art creation by allowing:

• Permanent effects to be instantly applied to all layers.

• Artists to easily make and reverse creative decisions, fostering more experimentation.

• Artists to avoid using multiple layers in compositions.

• A quick way to replicate images with pixel-perfect accuracy.

What is one major way that traditional tools like paintbrushes and chisels differ from digital tools in terms of creative workflow?

• Traditional tools allow quick, unlimited revisions.

• Traditional tools encourage planning as they offer limited editing options.

• Traditional tools are more affordable than digital tools.

• Traditional tools easily create multiple copies of an artwork.

Early digital programs like Photoshop and Illustrator shifted the industry by:

• Eliminating the need for professional skills in art.

• Creating entirely new career fields in digital art, graphic design, and multimedia.

• Increasing the cost of art materials for artists.

• Allowing only trained artists to work on advanced projects.

Compare the impact of using traditional materials, such as canvas and stone, versus digital tools on an artist’s ability to make revisions. Give an example of how this difference affects the planning and execution stages of a project.

Analyze how digital accessibility—such as the ability to access Photoshop and Illustrator on a computer—has transformed the demographics of who can become an artist or designer. How might this accessibility change both the types of art produced and who creates it?
