Open art education: Analysis of visual art teaching and learning websites

A review of the literature has indicated that visual art learners and art teachers frequently use website resources in art teaching and learning activities. However, questions such as what websites art learners and art teachers are using and what technologies and tools are utilized in these websites remains unclear. This study offered insights into how use of technologies and tools actually took place, which might change how people teach and learn about art. Over 70 visual art teaching and learning-related websites were collected and evaluated using seven structured criteria. The top ten rated art teaching and learning websites were described and the common characteristics of technological features of these websites were analysed.
