ABSTRACT
The integration of technology into art education offers exciting opportunities to enhance teaching and learning. However, there remains a disconnect between art projects and technology within classrooms. This paper explores the ways learners can actively engage with digital technology, using it as a tool, domain of investigation, and a means for critical reflection. It provides a historical overview of art education, highlighting traditional practices and the evolving role of technology. Case studies illustrate the integration of digital tools in art education. The paper concludes with an analysis of the benefits and challenges of merging technology with traditional practices, emphasizing the importance of balancing technological innovation with foundational art education principles.
Keywords: Art education, technology integration, traditional practices, digital culture, STEAM learning.
