Art students can easily access a wealth of knowledge about digital arts through online tutorials and demo videos. As a result, it’s important to ensure the value of a class becomes much greater than what is available free online. Teaching digital arts in a world with so much free information requires foregrounding critical thinking and creative exploration.
