Abstract

This article examines the intersection of technology and integrated arts education, proposing a new paradigm that blends traditional artistic practices with modern technological advancements. As digital tools continue to shape educational landscapes, they offer unprecedented opportunities for enhancing creativity, collaboration, and artistic expression. The integration of technology into arts education allows for interactive and immersive experiences, facilitating a deeper understanding of both artistic processes and cultural contexts. This study explores various technological innovations, including digital media, virtual platforms, and multimedia tools, and their impact on art curricula. By analyzing case studies and educational frameworks, the paper highlights how technology can expand the possibilities of integrated arts education, making it more accessible and engaging for diverse student populations. It also addresses challenges such as resource accessibility, teacher training, and the balance between traditional methods and new technologies. Ultimately, this research advocates for the adoption of a hybrid educational approach, where technology serves as a catalyst for artistic growth and cultural exploration.
