The use of electronic blackboards is becoming more common throughout Japan, and an increasing number of municipalities provide students with tablets. At the same time, problems have been cited. One is the lack of use of shared devices that are not permanently available in classrooms. This occurs because busy teachers don’t have time to move the devices to their classrooms and set them up. Such equipment can, however, be used in art and other special classrooms, depending on the nature of the subject.
Art classes involve not only looking at art but also explanations of the use of art materials and various techniques. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) is highly effective in making lessons easily understood. The purpose of this article is to propose the effective creation and use of an ICT environment in art education by offering examples and to contribute to the creation and effective utilization of an ICT environment for other subjects.
