I explored the relationship between traditional art practices and digital art, specifically how digital rendering arose from traditional art forms. I examined six digital art programs or tools, and the corresponding traditional materials including spray paint, collage, oil paint, coloured pencils, synthetic polymer paint and fine-liner. The imitation of pixels, using media such as cross-stitch, plastic beads and wooden blocks in my developmental work, symbolised the relationship between the techniques. Placing the works in monitors further connected and framed the imagery within the digital environment.
