About the Project

The Digital Art Project is intended to foster new forms of research and collaboration as well as new approaches to teaching and learning. I will be offering support for the digitization of important visual resources (especially digital art portfolios) which will help aid students in being ready for the art world. This will also allow students to create digital art, make improvements, and gain skills to ready them in the platform of digital art. Currently we do not have any technology in our art room. Which doesn’t allow students to research differing art forms or important influential artists. This also creates barriers in their learning when it comes to digital art and portfolios. The art world currently is only accepting digital images to gain spaces in art galleries. So this is really a very important skill that students need for long term success in the art world. Also, the fastest growing form of art is NFT which my students could learn to code and create in order to gain access to this amazing new market place for artists.
