This research proposal aims to study the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching visual arts and design. The researcher believes that ICT can help address some issues in visual arts education like motivating students and improving artwork quality. The study objectives are to motivate students, improve artwork quality, and enhance teaching quality. A literature review of previous studies on using ICT in teaching subjects like visual arts, English, and math will inform the study. Data will be collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations of students to understand perceptions of using ICT and its effectiveness. The population is Form 4 and 5 students who have less experience with ICT in visual arts. The findings could help attract more students to visual arts and pursue art

Title:
To study the use of ICT in Teaching Visual Arts& Design
CHAPTER 1

2. Introduction
1.1 Background of Study
ICT is the short form of Information and Communications Technologies. ICT are covers any
product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a
digital form. For example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots, softwares.In
the age of globalization, the use of ICT more quickly spread. It become important thing to
everybody have. It make our interaction with other more easy and fast, to access information
also easy and fast, to spread something news also easy and fast, to create something cool
and great also easy and fast, to find old friend also fast, to sell something also easy and etc.
In one word, ICT is easy. ICT also become popular culture now.
In this study is to find out the use of ICT in teaching visual arts and design. I believe
and based on other research, ICT really useful in teaching visual arts and design nowadays.
ICT have a lot of advantages that can improve the process of teaching in visual arts and
design. The outcomes from that, it will reduce fews problems among students. We as
educator of visual arts and design should find the ways that can change perception of
student to visual art and design subject.
1.2 Statement of Problem

3. At institutions whether lower or higher, subject visual arts and design always gets
negative response from their students. Most of the responses come from the students who
are not interested in learning visual arts subject. Impact of this, students intentionally not
bring the material to used during visual arts and design classes, so they no need to
participate in class and more worse than that, they willing to skip class.Many causes make
this happen.
Firstly because them lack of information about career in the future. They do not know what
the career in their future. It make them think learning visual art only wasting their time. They
more prefer to give full attention to subjects that can secure their future. Like mathematics,
science and english language.
Besides that, students think visual art and design not an important subject. They feel it just
additional subject. If interested, they can learns, if not, it’s ok. Nothing will effect on their
result. Effect from this perception make more students think visual and design subject not an
important subject.
Others than that students have lack of skills in visual art and design. Lack of skill make them
feel hard to produce a good artwork. If the basic skill like skecthes they do not know, it will
make the students feel more bad. That make them give negative response about visual art
and design.
To avoid this negative response happen, This study will find out the use of ICT
teaching visual art and design. Hopefully the find out can help in decrease the negative
response from students.
1.3 Research Objective

4. The purpose of this study is to find the use of ICT in teaching visual arts and design. Thus
the objective of study are to :
i.
To motivate students in learning visual arts and design
ii.
To improve the quality of students artwork
iii.
Toenhance the level of teaching and learning
1.4 Research Questions
i.
How to motivate students in learning visual arts and design by using ICT in teaching?
ii.
How ICT can improve the qualities of students artwork?
iii.
Does ICT can enhance the level of teaching visual arts and design at institutions?
1.5 Operational Definitions

5. ICT is an acronym that stands for Information Communications Tecnology. However,
Because the concepts, methods and applications involved in ICT are constantly evolving on
an almost daily basis. Its difficult to keep up with the changes .It happen so fast. A good way
to think about ICT is to consider all the uses of digital technology that already exist to help
individuals, businesses and organisations use information. ICT covers any product that will
store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a digital form. For
example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots. ( Riley, 2012
1.7 Significance of the Study
The significant of this study is to find out how ICT can help us motivating students to learns
visual art and design. Every student have difference personalities, it become challenges to
create a solution that can motivate all the students itself want to learn. In learning visual arts,
first thing need to have is interest. The interest can automatically turn students attitude to
learn more hard.
Next is to increase the qualities of students artwork. This study also to find out how ICT can
increase the qualities of students artwork. When quality of the student more good from time
to time, it will increase their passion in exploring visual art and design study. Such as in
creating new effect in photography artwork. If not the artwork quality of students still at the
same level even they had study more than few years.
Thirdly is to enhance the level of teaching visual arts and design at institutions. When the
level of teaching increase ,it will make the result of learning process more better than before.
The artworks of students more qualities, the participate of student in class more actively and
more important is the positive thinking about visual art and design will come out slowly, day
by day and at the end our visual art and design study will be same level with international
arts.

6. Literature Review
2.0 Introduction
This study is to find the use of ICT in teaching visual arts and design. Here, there are fews
studies that show the use of ICT in education. From the studies, we can know the use of ICT
that we can used as reference in teaching visual arts and design. Others than that, we can
know the right ways to achieve the objectives of this study. It is motivate students in learning
visual arts and design, to improve the qualities of students artwork and lastly to enhance the
level of teaching visual arts and design at institutions.
2.1 Teaching Using ICT
There are fews previous study that can be as references. It shows how the use of ICT in
teaching fews subjects at school. It is using ICT in teaching visual arts, english language
and mathematics. There are also study that related in use of ICT in teaching visual arts and
design.

7. Research Methodology
3.0 Introduction
This chapter explains the research design of this study, the method of data
collection, the population as well as the sample of this study and the data analysis of the
data. The data that has been analyzed will then be presented in the next chapter.
3.1 Research Design
The aim of this study is to know the use of ICT in teaching visual arts and design.
The methodology used in this study is using qualitative and quantitative research.
3.2 Population and Sampling
The major target population of this study is students form 4 and from 5 from Sekolah
Menengah Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, Seksyen 2 Shah Alam, Selangor . The major purpose of
this population is them less practise learning visual art using ICT. In higher institutions, ICT
had been use in the teaching process. Then, if ICT can attract them to study visual art at
school, big potential that them will choose art and design study in higher education.
3.3 Instrumentation
3.3.1 Questionnaire
First instrumen to collect data is using questionnaire. In the questionnaire contains
questions about opinion students about use of ICT in their daily life and use of ICT in learning
visual art and design.
3.3.2 Interview

8. Second instrumen to collect data is using interview. The interview based on their
opinion to ICT.
3.3.3 Observation
Third instrumen to collect data is using observation. From the observation, we can
see the effectiveness use of ICT in teaching visual arts and design.
