Research Discipline/Bio

My research investigates the transformative intersection of digital technologies and visual arts pedagogy, with particular emphasis on how emerging technologies reshape teaching methodologies in art classrooms. My current research explores how pre-service and in-service artist educators integrate digital tools and platforms to enhance student engagement, creative expression, and visual literacy while maintaining the foundational aspects of traditional art education. Drawing from both theoretical frameworks and practical classroom applications, I examine how technology-enhanced art education can bridge traditional studio practices with contemporary digital workflows, fostering innovative teaching approaches that prepare students for an increasingly digital creative landscape.
