Abstract
This article explores the strategies, advantages, disadvantages, and methods of digitalizing art education. The study focuses on observations and research conducted at the selected university, where the characteristics of classroom technologies in the art department were analyzed and categorized. The paper challenges the claim that "all traditional teaching methods should be abandoned in favor of complete digitization and increased reliance on technological tools." Instead, it aims to provide a clear perspective on digital technologies' current state and features in art education, facilitating their effective integration into traditional and modern teaching approaches in the university under study. This ensures that the digitization of art education progresses in a practical and well-informed manner. Given that educators, students, and educational institutions hold diverse perspectives on digitization, examining the fusion of traditional and digital teaching methods is strategic and highlights the need to address the viewpoints of these three groups. The primary concern of this paper is bridging the gap between traditional art education and technology-driven art education. While the findings suggest that the benefits of technology integration in art education outweigh the drawbacks, they also offer a promising pathway for balancing tradition and technology, successfully merging the two to foster creativity and innovation.
