Introduction
Lostcause secondary school of computing and the Arts has asked us to design a new computer class room to support both subjects of computing and arts, and since both arts and computing are both excellent standard, we would need to match its excellent status. This would have a room where half of the room which would be specialised in both specified, where if it was for arts, there would be added software like Photoshop, and other editing software. I would say having one half of the room for arts and the other half computing make sense because students will know where to find themselves for specified subjects. Or they can be mixed but as long as there is specific software being added.
In this assignment, we would need to look

In this section, we shall be talking about what is required to have an appropriate ICT solution for computing and arts class. This will cover what is needed, what hardware and software are needed.
What needed/ specific computers/specific devices
There will be a lot needed into making the class to have computers which will support both subjects. This is because computing and art are different subjects and having to bring both subjects together could demand a lot. Computers will be the key feature to making this class. When it comes to setting up the computers, we have a budget of £5500 on each computer.
There is more into art than just having a pen and drawing or painting pictures on a paper. The technology has advanced and discovered new kind of art within computers. Most of the modern day computers can support computing and basic art. In order to have a fully functioning computer that can cover both subjects is having to get suitable software and having the right aspects in a computer. You don’t want to be buying a computer and having to install a software which will reduce the performance of the computer. It’s important to know the aspects of a computer before buying.
The most suitable computers we would recommend are apple based computers, HP, Dell and Samsung. These are big brands and most reliable. There are more computer companies that are suitable for both computing and arts but for now we choose to call out the big
Growing up I have always loved art, whether it be doodling, lettering, making graphics or taking photos. Since grade 4, I have taught myself the inner workings of Adobe Photoshop, how to make graphics and edit. Over the years, I have continuously honed myself to learn new things and expand my knowledge about the art I was so interested in. I pursued this passion despite not even having my own laptop, computer or a good DSLR camera at that time. Nonetheless, I took the opportunity to use the iMac’s we had in school to produce the best of what I can do, and enjoy my time using the “nice” mediums even just for a few hours. In grade 6, I decided to join the Digital Arts club in school because I just felt like it was where I belonged, and it was
5. Computers should be located in areas where pupils can sit and work without distracting or disrupting others in the class.
This peer-reviewed article from Studies In Art Education, a United Kingdom based academic journal that focuses on research on the nuances of art education and related issues, is written by Australian authors, Cutcher and Wilks, as a comparison of the positive effects of information and communication technologies (ICT) in visual arts classrooms with the struggles that art educators are facing when incorporating technology into their traditional art curriculum. Examples of this from the pair’s qualitative research through the use of existing published material include such positives as opportunities to produce and manipulate digital images, graphic design experience,
Early computer art stemmed from an unlikely place and as the computer technology advanced, minimized, and became affordable, the computer turned into the most important invention of the modern age and has been implemented in almost every aspect of human life. Like video art, computer art started small and progressed with the technology and now is a tool used for many digital mediums.
Curricula has been a hot topic of debate since education became institutionalized. Many legislative sessions and parent meetings have been held to discern the best possible information necessary for children. In recent years, it is not only what information is being delivered but how the information is presented. Arts integration is not about simply having students attend "extra curricular" or “enrichment classes” about art, but rather it is the complete fusion of all art forms within the standard math, literacy, science, and history core classes. For example, a classroom of 4th graders learning about basic geometry might also be learning about the art of dance from the same teacher in the same classroom. The students might first
In today’s modern world, there has been many debates on what should be considered art. Art and technology are connected because technology is a way to display art pieces and alter them. Art is what a person uses to express their feelings and what their point of view is on a certain topic. Technology is several types of equipment that are used to provide information and make life easier. Animation, photo editing, and actually taking technological devices to create sculptures are all examples of how technology and art are interrelated.
Early computer was much different from the computers we know today. Artist were not interested in computers for art in their earliest designs. The earliest computers did not have monitors and were massive machines that filled large rooms. An example of such a computer, the ENAIC that was developed at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1940s was the most powerful computer at the
The customer for this report, and recommendation for the purchase of a computer system, is a dedicated first-year computer science student at a technologically specialized institution. He is currently working on a degree that involves several courses in word processing, computer assisted design, and graphics technology. This student is also an avid gamer and has a particular interest in the latest audio and video production technology.
As chair of the committee charged with the recommendation for the purchase of new computer equipment, I will detail a suggested plan for this $50,000 project at Central High School. The high school has 1000 students in four grade levels (9th through 12th), and has approximately 60 and 20 supporting staff. An inventory of the computers at the whole school was conducted to understand what is currently available. There is currently one computer lab per grade level in the school with 22 computers each, allowing for each grade use of this for one period per day. There are also two computers in each classroom (one for student use, one for teacher use) as well as a bank of computers in the library. There are also individual computers for the guidance counselors, nurse, principals and assistant principals, and office staff. As the inventory was being done, a survey was passed out to all of the staff asking where the needs were greatest and what specific equipment was lacking. The overwhelming desire of the majority of the teachers was more computers in the individual classrooms, specifically in the math and science rooms as a lot of current information was required and there was a lot of competition for its use. There was a great desire to be flexible and move the computer from place to place, such that a laptop computer or tablet computer was preferred over a desktop.
In this section of the final project paper, I have made suggestions for the use of technology to be accessed by students for assessments. The students will use laptops for the assessments because laptops are more accessible and easy for students to manage in classrooms. The most important thing for students to understand is navigation from websites and follow instruction on the websites, in order to gather information. Also, students should be able to locate the subject information that will support their assignments.
Art is all around us, probably everywhere you see, you will at least be able to see one or more different kinds of artwork.There are variety types of Art like: Digital art, visual art, sculpture art, photography, sketching, dance, etc. In the 20th century art developed a wider vision like: architecture, dance, sculpture, music, painting, poetry. As you know art can draw anything, even people can draw us humans. I think that is really amazing drawing people, but the thing is that you will need skill, talent to draw real life people and you will also need to know that sketching skill.
Usually, the word “art” is associated with painting, or the class that was required in primary school, but that is not always the case. There are far more mediums and styles to art than one can imagine. There are two major groups to art, traditional and digital. Traditional includes majority of the arts that require being hands-on and having a physical result, such as a painted canvas, or a clay sculpture. Digital art uses a computer to create the art, such as using a drawing tablet, or a 3D sculpting program, such as Blender, or ZBrush, which are common for 3D animation, or video game configurations. While these two concepts sound completely different, they also jive together to make the best products. Without the computer, there would not be digital art, and today’s art would be limited to the traditional factors, not that traditional art is limiting, there are just many more advances thanks to technology and its evolution through everyday. Overall, Digital art is better than Traditional art because it is indestructible, it takes up less space, and its constantly evolving.
Nearly everyone accepts the fact that no two students are alike, so why do we, as a society, expect all students to achieve high marks in the same courses? The arts have long been seen as ‘extra’ and have not received the same level of respect as traditional academics like algebra and biology. Music, painting, and photography, are just as skill based and require similar amounts of time and effort as their STEM counterparts. The idea that students who do not perform well in academic classes, even though they excel in the arts, are unintelligent is a false belief.
In addition, there is a problem because the current situation in colleges and universities are having issues and multiple problems concerning the involvement of technology in class and at home. Surely the use of computers are now direly needed to discuss and deliberate on the several subjects taught in high school and colleges. To the contrary, children and young adults have been found failing in class by reason of
The simplicity of digital art programs excites anyone with an imagination to create art endlessly. It has become the art of the future because it is a way to create art in a non-chaotic way. Although, creating DA is relatively simply there are still ways for someone to learn how to use the more complex programs. Digital art is now being taught in
