Reconstructing art education courses in response to uncertainty
Covid-19 has influenced our lives in many ways. Even though the presenters have taught their art education courses both in-person and online for several years, we also confronted the changes to move all courses fully online. As art educators, we've experienced dynamic changes in the past ten years among face-to-face, hybrid, entirely online, again face-to-face, and fully online again by following universities' decisions and Covid-19 restrictions. The developing conditions for online learning environments, including redesigning course learning models fitting to online and setting digital technologies for online teaching was the main factors that instructors deliberated for the transitioning (DiMarco, 2020). Preparing backup plans was also a significant factor in the transitioning. For instance, predicting various students' situations who don't have an internet connection, digital technologies, or learning environment were required (Garris & Fleck, 2020; Velichová et al., 2020).
The purpose of this presentation is to share two art educators' experiences to respond to the transition and requests to develop newly fully online art education courses. In this presentation, we will examine three big strategies: 1) transitioning in-person class to online, 2) continuing teaching entirely online class under the Pandemic, 3) developing new online courses that will continue after the Pandemic. Art education pedagogy and distance learning strategies will also be explained with our experiences.
In addition, we will share how we have designed art studio, and art education courses to create, appreciate, present, and critique arts by utilizing digitalized artworks/texts and digital technologies. For example, the creations and presentations with digital humanity pedagogies, developing the digitalization of art instructions and students' art creation to fit into the online environments, and adopting digital art resources for presenting and appreciation will be discussed.

How can art educators help to enhance artistic learners' academic achievement in online settings? As art educators, we've experienced dynamic changes in the past ten years among face-to-face, hybrid, entirely online, again face-to-face, and fully online again by following universities' decisions and Covid-19 restrictions. In this presentation, we will examine three big strategies: 1) transitioning in-person class to online, 2) continuing teaching entirely online class under the Pandemic, 3) developing new online courses that will continue after the Pandemic. Art education pedagogy and distance learning strategies will also be explained with our experiences. Through focusing on the intersection between digital humanities and the visual arts, the participants will have opportunities to explore digital pedagogy for teaching art studio and art education online in this presentation.
