Art and Technology Project
The students used the computer program, Art Dabbler to create
Impressionist-like digital art.
This project is used annually as a part of the students' art
history grade and as a way to introduce them
to an alternate media in the art program. After working with
the students to show them how to
use the tool, I administered a survey to the students to determine
their understanding of
the use of technology in their art program as well as their
satisfaction with the new media.
The project will be expanded to include
an additional digital art piece which may then be used in note
cards or other project without copyright infringement.,
