Two initiatives to introduce technology into the art curriculum of a school district are described. The initiatives gave permission for money to be spent on third-grade and middle-school programs. Both were designed around the existing art curriculum and attempted to take advantage of hardware the district already owned. In the third-grade program, the educational objective was to introduce students to computers and software as tools and media for creating art through computer graphics. Students completed the five lessons and were videotaped as they presented their art work to an audience. The middle school initiative gave advanced students an experience that was relevant to the commercial uses of art. Students learned to create and alter computer images and to create animation. Evaluation found the third-grade initiative successful because of excellent communication and cooperation, and expansion to the district's other schools was recommended. An increased level of art literacy was seen in middle school students, and the continuation of the program was recommended. A concept map is attached. (Contains 10 references.) (SLD)
