Technology Integrations in Art and Music Education

1. Technology Integrations in Art and Music Education By: Parker Raikes and Bianca Otero

2. Music Literacy • The ability to read standard music notation. • The computer enables experimentation with alternative ways to represent music instruction. • Music production industries like Apple and Emagic are helping change reliance on printed sheets of music to sound artifacts.

3. Illegal Music Downloading • It has become so common in today’s society that many students don’t even realize that it is illegal anymore. • In 2010 there was a 19% decrease in downloaded music • This suggests that music streaming is becoming more popular. Ex: Pandora

5. Technology Integration for Music • Instructional Software and Music Production Software are the most beneficial. • The “intelligent” accompaniment system (Smart Music) allows students to practice with an accompanist virtually instead of physically.

7. Composition and Production • There are three essential tools when using this process. • Sequencers • Notation • Vocal Processing Software

8. Continued… • Sequencers • Allow user to record, edit and playback digital audio and MIDI data.(aural) • Notation • Offer flexibility in score and page setup, part extraction and text formatting(visual) • Vocal Processing Software • Allows users to make changes to the pitch and create interesting vocal distortions.

9. Art Education • Funding has significantly decreased since the No Child Left Behind Policy. • Teachers and administrators struggle to find ways to stretch budget for art education.

10. Limited access to art images • Filtering software's on school computers often filter out valuable artwork as well. • This prevents students from looking at important artworks in art classes. • This can significantly inhibit the use of technology in an art classroom.

11. Art Education Standards. • Be able to communicate at a basic level in the four art disciplines. • Be able to communicate proficiently in at least one art form. • Be able to develop and present basic analyses of works of art from combinations of perspectives. • Have an informed acquaintance with exemplary works and a basic understanding of development in the arts disciplines • Be able to relate various types of arts knowledge and skills within and across the arts disciplines.

12. Ways to use technology to find art • Have students find specific works of art in the library and then challenge them to go online and find more from the same time period. • Use online resources so students can see new contemporary artists and the new works. • Create a digital library to use for slide shows and presentations.

13. Art Technology • Most common resource is image digitizing equipment. • Use Graphic Scanners • Can produce computer art with software like Paintbrush and KidPixfor younger ages and Photoshop for high school levels. • They are computer peripherals that print materials into digital images on a computer.

14. Graphic Design • Certain types of graphic design can only be done digitally like tweeting and morphing. • Students can use 3D modeling and animation software to communicate ideas visually. • Can use technology resources to create brochures and newsletters digitally • Saves a lot of time

15. Computerized Kilns • A kiln is what is used to make pottery. • You can use a comp0uterized kiln to make pottery. • It sets the temperature automatically, monitors length of time and begins the process of cooling down and shutting off. • This saves a lot of time and resources and makes it easier on both teacher and student.

17. Why is This Important • Has the potential to transform the learners experience. • Teachers need to acquire this knowledge so that students can learn with and from technology. • Teachers also need to “know what they don’t know” • Keep up with the technology age • Can save time, money and resources.
