We are meticulously crafting a cutting-edge curriculum centered on artistic disciplines. Rooted in the DigCompEdu framework, our curriculum emphasizes the practical application of Augmented Reality (AR) in the arts, fostering a dynamic learning environment for educators and students alike.
Key Components of the Evolving Curriculum
Digital Competencies and Tools
Our curriculum equips educators with essential digital skills to navigate the ever-evolving educational landscape. By integrating these competencies, we aim to enhance both teaching and learning experiences.
AR in Art Education
We are exploring the transformative potential of AR to elevate artistic expression and create immersive learning experiences. AR technology allows students to engage with art in new and exciting ways, making learning more interactive and impactful.
Pilot Programs
We are establishing school art galleries where students and teachers collaborate to showcase their skills using AR technology. These galleries serve as pilot programs to test and refine our curriculum. Additionally, workshops with street artists will enrich the learning experience, providing hands-on opportunities to engage with contemporary art forms.
