ICT and Visual arts education

I have a strong passion for Visual Arts learning. I believe this allows individuals to experience safe expression, communication, exploration, imagination, and cultural and historical understanding. ICT can allow students from all learning spaces to share their artistic expression

ICT in visual arts

- ICT can extend the traditional forms of Visual arts. It can combine all of the skills (drawing, collage, painting, print making, sculpture, mixed media & caramics) with a range of tools.

- ICT in visual arts also allows individuals to share their creativity with a wider audience (using apps to uploaded completed work & using social media).

- Digital forms draw on many of the options available in photography and film and video and mark the convergence and development of various technologies in electronic applications.

-Digital forms may only appear as ‘virtual’ works and never exist in a physical space like paintings or sculptures.

-Ideas can be produced expressively, symbolically, realistically, abstractly, figuratively and decoratively and may also simulate the real.

-Images can be taken from different sources, manipulated, scanned, photocopied and further digitised.
