Utilizing pixel art to produce metal works

The process of technical formation evolved during the twentieth century as a result of the tremendous technological advances in the use of computers and a new way of looking at the relationship of those advanced technologies to the use of computers in the field of artistic formation and the resulting ideas to fit into the technical product which has led to the development of digital art and the emergence of new methods and techniques of pixel art, and therefore the research aims to create a new design and formative vision inspired by pixel art, This is part of new design formulations that combine modernity with the use of digital and contemporary art and are based on addressing conscience and developing the aesthetic taste of metalwork in order to create new and up-to-date art formats for mineral works.

Pixel art is a digital art technique and has gained a wide reputation among diverse digital arts It is the art of simplicity because it depends on the shape of the boxes in the composition of the image, If the number of boxes is large, the picture clarity is high. And if the number of boxes is a little bit, the picture loses its features and shows a slack, The most important design software that produces this art is photoshop, paint, pixel art.

The researcher tries to take advantage of the construction systems and the dot formation of pixel art to inspire formative treatments of metal working surfaces with different visions and different according to the metal working requirements and that metallic forming techniques are rich and diverse so that the artist is free to think and choose methods according to the proposed design, This opens new doors for innovation and choice of performance ideas and methods by studying the artistic and formative values of pixel art with its modern content that can be an input to the design and implementation of mineral occupants, even though the materials and approaches differ artistically and technically.
