Our world is constantly changing. Educators have the task of empowering students to be active learners in a digital age. As an arts educator, I believe my role in shaping artists for the 21st century requires the use of technology within the art room. My philosophy for Art 1 students is to expose them to a variety of art techniques and materials; digital art should not be excluded.
This generation of students has not lived without technology in their pockets and can be seen in their involvement in the digital world. Within my classroom, more students are wanting to draw in a stylized manner, similar to comic books and anime. To increase student engagement and academic success, I work with the student's strengths and interests. The fulfillment of this project would allow my students to take their drawings into the digital world. Being able to work through the entire process, starting on paper, then working digitally, will provide the tools necessary for students to grow into 21st-century artists.
