Digital Art in Children's Education

Abstract

Technology usage habits and the development of creative arts experiences and productivity are effective. In 2007, Lui argued that digital art can integrate the concept of information technology, which is at the forefront of the development of the child, with art education based on the dynamics of digital culture and art. In the discovery of artistic acquisitions, it is seen that they used digital art for play in the early stages of children's lives. In the stages of development, they were seen to improve their reading, writing and arithmetic skills, respectively. In young children, it was seen as a result of research that used information gathering and artistic expression skills more effectively with multi-interactive games. We see that digital visual culture and visual intelligence, technologies such as computer games, virtual museums, movies and the internet, change children's aesthetic perspective. Digital culture art gives children and young people who are centered on learning with their own dynamics the opportunity to produce art with new technologies, expressing themselves and carrying out more activities that are independent. Children can also be brought together with artists, software developers, designers, engineers and experts in various professional groups. While the child is using the possibilities of the digital world unlimitedly, he and the experts have developed their creative thinking skills and processed new records in their visual memory with different aesthetic perspectives. Children will be examined in this study to see how they develop and benefit from an awareness of artwork, production, creativity and discovery using digital special technological equipment.
