Abstract
ICT can be a catalyst for an interaction between practising artists, learners and teachers facing the challenges of developing pedagogy appropriate to new aspects of subject knowledge. This paper focuses on the ways the wider community can make a contribution to the ongoing curriculum, and provide insights into how ICT can extend the cultural experiences of children. It addresses some questions about the contribution of ICT to children’s learning in the visual arts when artists bring their knowledge, understanding and practice into and beyond the school environment.
