| | 8 JUNE 2023HIGHERReviewFOCAL POINT With the introduction of online tools, software, and other digital resources, students can now access a world of information and art pieces to help them become better-equipped artists. As a result, educators must adapt to these changes in order to stay competitive. The rise of digital art has had a profound impact on the landscape of visual arts education. Technology has changed the way that we create and consume art, and this has in turn, changed the way that we teach visual arts. In this article, we will explore the impact of technology on the teaching of visual arts, and the future of visual arts education.Augmented Reality & Adaptive LearningThe first sectors to benefit from extended reality were the gaming and entertainment sectors. Eventually, galleries, museums, and individual artists began to work with VR and AR development businesses. The work of a Japanese artist named Nubumichi Asai is one of the earliest examples of augmented reality in the arts. To design an application that projects patterns on a moving face, he enlisted the help of a group of technological specialists and cosmetic artists. This program can recognise the human face and project exactly inside its contours. The amazing virtual reality art application Tilt Brush from Google lets artists immerse themselves in their own work and view it from various angles. They may show gigantic objects floating in the air without taking gravity into account.Audience-driven CreationThe advent of social media has caused yet another profound upheaval in our way of life. The early years of websites like MySpace and the initial version of Face book already seem like a bygone era because of how quickly this sector has developed. We can now view the waking lives of others in real time through services like Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, and others, whether they are friends with a small following or celebrities with millions. Companies have joined in the fun, and because they have the power to positively or negatively impact a brand's reputation, most businesses view a knowledgeable social media manager as crucial.Although social media has had a rather bumpy road lately, as a society--or as many societies--we have never witnessed such widespread worldwide connection.
