goals of art education
Confidence,
Expectations,
Intensity;
Artists are willing to try new things,
Artists expect to be able to express themselves,
Artists for the most part are confident that they will succeed.
The real difference between the casual art viewer and the artist
Is the intensity of the experience.
The depth of the student’s encounter with artistic actions and events will determine the
Ultimate intensity of the students’ artistic development.

Technology and Art
Marvin Grossman
Anticipating the future: Artists with computer artistic skills will be better prepared for changes in our complex society, whether they design web pages for their company or create paintings or prints for their house.
We are at the beginning of one of the important artistic movements in art history. The computer is an artistic tool - like the paint brush, hammer, chisel and camera. The computer also is a connection to people; it can create and exhibit the work to the world.
Still, there is confusion as to the importance of computer art. We have to remember that the camera was not considered an art form until the late 60's. Acrylic paint was accepted even later.
Art, classroom and technology teachers can work together in a cooperative teaching adventure
We don't know what impact the computer will ultimately have in the history of art but we do know that it will play a momentous role. The beginning of any new art movement is inspiring and being part of the digital art movement promises significant excitement. Most of our students, at any age, are familiar with computers. It only takes a little instruction to help children artistically express themselves using computers.
We as teachers live in a unique time, a time where we can learn as we help our students. Learning together can be an exciting process, one of the most ideal teaching experiences. I have been working on an easy-to-teach elementary computer art curriculum so that art, classroom and technology teachers can work together in a cooperative teaching adventure.
Check out my website, http://www.kidzart.org, to see some of my students' digital work that resulted from these lessons. Then try a few of the beginning lessons. Any questions?
