Please join us for
Creative Technologies Symposium 2016
Friday, May 6, 2016 1:00 - 6:00 PM
Art & Art Education @Teachers College, Columbia University
Emerging technologies continue to change the making, teaching, and learning of art. The creative technologies symposium addresses these changes and engages artists, educators, and technologists in an ongoing conversation. While the previous symposia worked to define creative technologies as a means for artistic expression, the upcoming symposium considers the successes and barriers of implementation within various learning environments. What are some of the new pedagogies that help bring technology-infused art to students and teachers alike? If there is a lot of excitement about technology in art making, where does the resistance come from?
The Creative Technologies Symposium is part of the Creative Tech Week in New York City from April 28 -May 6.
