Abstract
The visual arts may bring to mind images of a painter in the studio, a sculptor working in stone, or a photographer composing a dramatic landscape. While these modes of creative expression remain important to the study of visual arts, digital technologies—including graphic design software, image and video editing applications, and animation tools— provide students with new opportunities for visual arts learning. Using these technologies alone, however, does not necessarily help students to construct meaningful learning as they design, develop, and communicate their ideas visually. Instead, it is through meaningfully selecting, combining, and sequencing learning activities that are complemented by the savvy use of technological tools and resources that teachers help their students to grow as artists.
