A report proved that an increase in the use of ICT in education with integrating technology to the syllabus has a major and positive impact on students’ achievements. The results specifically showed that the students who are continuously exposed to technology through education has better ‘knowledge’, presentation skills, innovative capabilities, and are ready to take more efforts into learning as compared to their counterpart. e ‐learning is a rising trend. Students access information whenever and wherever they want, and institutions that provides such advanced technological area is rising in number day by day. By utilizing new media resources, students can expand their creativity through digitally simulated information. Flexibility of digital data is what makes new media of vital importance for the teaching of visual arts. By using automated media tools and graphic software, students can quickly see the results of their ideas. By applying ICT, the amount of work in creating visual information is minimized, so students will have more time for creativity, collaboration, research and assessment. Expansion visual art education for students to include the use of visual media-digital photography video, computer generated imagery-allows exciting possibilities for students to use information and communication technologies (ICT) for enhancing their visual art learning experiences. The underlying aim of this study is to contribute to enhancing creativity and innovation in society, technology, science and education. “Artists should be incorporated as activator for new ways of idea, not only about art, but about the world we live in, to change the way things are done, made, and developed in the world.” 21st Century Education will, however, be defined by a fundamental shift in what we are teaching-a shift towards learner-cantered education and creating creative thinkers.
