First of all, it is the digitalization of traditional arts, including traditional literature, music, dance, painting, drama, sculpture and other art forms, which are transformed into digital pictures, audio and video, and realize the digitization of communication forms and contents. At the same time, with the arrival of the digital era, digital art forms such as digital film and television, online games, animation, digital illustration and digital music have also come into being. The digitization of Yellow River cultural elements, on the one hand, should digitize and preserve the art forms and art works with Yellow River cultural characteristics scattered in folklore, and make use of the technological power of big data to strengthen the protection and inheritance of Yellow River culture, and to highlight the long history and rich content of the Yellow River culture. On the other hand, it is necessary to integrate the idea of digital art into the process of "copying", and make comprehensive use of digital stage set technology, digital lighting projection technology, virtual interactive technology, etc. For example, the typical arts of the Yellow River basin such as Ansai Waist Drums and Shadow Puppet Show, etc., under the premise of preserving their original artistic characteristics, give them digitalized and diversified forms of expression to make the traditional Yellow River culture and arts present themselves in a new light and make the traditional Yellow River culture and arts present themselves in a new light. Let the traditional Yellow River culture and art present a refreshing artistic effect.
The second is the programmed digital art creation, that is, the creation of network art, interactive art and other digital art works in the form of programmed art works, reflecting the distinctive virtual, interactive and social nature. The medium is no longer the traditional mass information dissemination medium, but an "installation" medium that is digitally programmed, produced and designed by the creators, in combination with specific application scenarios, out of specific creativity and conception, and by making full use of the surrounding environment (or constructing artificial environments in line with the artworks). Interactive installation art is a typical example of programmed digital art creation. The sensors set up in the artwork capture the expression, movement, sound, sight, posture and other information of the characters, and transfer these information to the central processor of the computer, and the central processor that receives the information of the characters will make the artwork give the corresponding feedback in time according to the feedback program that the creators have designed in advance, thus realizing the interaction between the artwork and the characters. The Yellow River cultural elements integrated into the interactive installation art creation can make the Helan Mountain petroglyphs "come alive", make the Huaiyang mud dogs "sing", make the Shandon Han portrait stones "move", and make the Shaanxi and Shanxi windowpane paper-cutting artworks "move", and make the Shaanxi and Shanxi windowpane paper-cutting artworks "move", and make the Shaanxi and Shanxi windowpane paper-cutting artworks "move". Shaanxi, Shanxi window cuttings "dance", and even let the audience experience the source of the Yellow River trickling quietly around the flow, high and exciting Xin Tian You in the ear haunting reverberation, shocking Hukou Waterfall as if close at hand ...... every audience can get a different understanding and feelings from it can get a different understanding and feelings, become a certain sense of art receivers, producers and disseminators.
Finally, it is the integration of digital art presentation, which is the organic integration of sound, image and video, transforming the traditional two-dimensional art based on the elements of the Yellow River culture into three-dimensional or even multi-dimensional art, realizing the infinite extension of the color and shape of the art works, further enriching the connotation of art and culture and realizing the diversified fusion of art forms. A large number of cultural sites found in the Yellow River Basin carry the long historical memory of the Yellow River culture, and digital art creation of these cultural sites and monuments can make the ancient people and objects vivid again, and the production life of hundreds of thousands of years ago will reappear in front of the eyes of the modern people through the digital presentation, which will deepen the audience's sense of experiencing it with an unprecedented sense of immersion.
Art has cognitive, educational and aesthetic functions, and so does digital art creation based on Yellow River cultural elements, which should fully serve the purpose of telling the story of the Yellow River and realizing the dissemination value of the Yellow River culture, i.e., popularizing the Yellow River culture and promoting the spirit. Therefore, in the future, we should enhance the infectious force and attraction of the Yellow River cultural art works through the use of digital technology, more fully mobilize people's desire to explore the Yellow River culture, so that "promoting the Yellow River culture" and "telling the Yellow River story" can get more new ways and communication carriers. The way and dissemination carrier
