  1. Supporting Visual Arts with Technology For Cycles One,Two, and Three Presented by: Tara, Theresa, and Kaitlin

  2. Why Visual Arts? • The arts are an essential part of a child’s education, and yet they are sometimes overlooked by policy makers, administrators, parents, and even teachers (Roblyer) • The arts provide students with the ability to symbolize, express, and communicate through images (MELS)

  3. Why integrate technology into the art classroom? • Technology has become an important part of our culture, we are now teaching “digital natives” (Herberholz, Chung) • Creates new excitement for inclusive art education, and revives the importance of visual arts in education for all students • Technology offers new ways to create meaningful expression (Roblyer) • Empowers all students to create works of art, the computer focuses attention on the process rather than the product. Students can edit and revise their work easily (Clements) • Artwork created on the computer can be easy to save and doesn’t take up physical space

  4. Computers as an art tool: New media introduces the elements of time, motion and light (Day & Hurwitz) Computers allow students to work in new ways, using a variety of design operations – for example (Clements): cut and paste crop mirror shrink fragment distort superimpose enlarge blur l

  5. Creating art with a computer allows for multiple copies and variations • Computers allow students to animate their artwork, or to create multimedia artwork by integrating sound, video, digital photography, traditional artwork, etc. (Clements)

  6. Visual Arts Competency 3

  7. How technology can be integrated in the art classroom: • Using the Internet as a resource for research on art genres, styles, artists, and art history • For example: • http://www.nga.gov/education/timetravel/index.shtm • http://cybermuse.gallery.ca/cybermuse/youth/landscape/index_e.jsp (Learning about Canadian artwork, National Gallery of Canada, QEP Visual Arts Competency 3/A and Cross-Curricular)

  8. 2. The Internet globally connects students with peers, professional artists, experts, and art institutions to collaborate and share beyond physical and financial limitations (Howland) • www.americanart.si.edu/education/video/ • www.telecommunity.org

  9. 3. Using websites to teach students in progressive levels about art elements and techniques An example for Cycle Three: • http://www.nga.gov/kids/kids.htm (Games to explore art elements) • http://www.artsconnected.org/toolkit/index.html
