Abstract

This chapter examines research that characterizes the complexity of teaching and integrating visual arts in K-12 education. Issues include teachers’ previous experience and backgrounds in art, their differing development of pedagogical and art content knowledge, and the existence of a variety of philosophical orientations for teaching art. The authors then describe how the complexity of visual arts education requires complex solutions for integrating technology and describe one art teacher educator’s first explorations into creating online solutions with Web 2.0 technology and her plans for further development. Finally, the authors describe a model of visual arts and technology integration that begins with a problem of practice and develops complex solutions through technology integration.
