How Technology is Moving Arts Education Beyond the Classroom

This article interested me as I am pursuing a degree in art education. With the modern use of technology, digital art is much more prevalent, but yet art education seems to disintegrate. "Students are using film to engage critical thinking and explore a more tangible form of science and art," according to Marie Mashyna. The students are using a number of different digital tools emphasizing the relationship between technology and art. Currently, many schools are experiencing financial issues that often lead to cutting out the arts education, but with the use of arts and technology, more and more educators are seeing the importance of the combination. We live in a time where creativity and innovation are two of the most important components of future workers, but yet arts education is the first area cut. With the use of technology, as educators, we can demonstrate the importance of arts in education.
