The Use of Digital Art in Visual Arts Education: A Field Study on a Sample of Art Teachers

Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of digital art on art education practices among art teachers, through a field study of a sample of middle and high school teachers across several schools. The research examines the shift from traditional to digital art teaching methods and analyses their effectiveness in raising student achievement and developing their creative and visual skills. It also seeks to explore the obstacles teachers face in adopting digital art and the possible means of supporting them technically and pedagogically. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach and a field study methodology, using a questionnaire distributed to a selected sample of art teachers. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The results indicated that the use of digital art significantly contributes to developing students' artistic creativity; however, weak infrastructure and a lack of training continue to pose challenges to achieving the desired impact.
