The use of digital images in the art classroom is a must! Art is all about visuals after all! Having posters of artwork available in the classroom is nice, but when presenting a new lesson on the Smart Board digital images are necessary for examples of famous artwork. I have been experimenting with digital images, and using programs such as Photoshop, for a few years now. Before pursuing my art education degree, I received my Associates Degree in Graphic Design. The two years I spent studying computer art programs have benefited my college career in art and in education as well.
I discovered that using digital images in slideshows available on Google Presentation, and Picasa (also by Google) are much easier to create in a short amount of time. Not only does it take no time to create, but it's so much safer and easier to save and retrieve.
After completing the assignment using Google Presentation and the Scavenger Hunt using Picasa, I will definitely be using these tools for use in my future art classroom. I will continue to use digital images in my lesson plans, but with these new tools I will use them more easily and efficiently.
