Peculiarities of teaching art in the era of digital technologies: challenges and opportunities

Abstract

The modern digitalization of the educational process in art teaching is a relevant topic for research. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of teaching art in the time of active use of digital technologies, the challenges and opportunities of this process in further use. To achieve this task, scientific methods of comparison and content analysis of scientific literature were used. A survey of 77 students (bachelor's, master's, and PhD students) who studied art with the use of modern digital technologies was also conducted. The results show that modern digital technologies are used at least several times a week. Important tools are virtual and augmented reality technologies, multimedia, and digital resources. Artistic digital platforms for creation or modeling allow the use of various digital tools to create new works or explore new styles. The problems are described: untimely access to technology, lack of personal interaction, lack of practical skills, certain limitations in the use of creativity, and the need for self-discipline. The conclusions summarize the general tendency to deepen the use of digital technologies in art education.
