Lessons
Art Arena
Step inside your imagination in Art Arena, a shared virtual reality experience where up to 35 students can draw and create together. Students will explore drawing in three dimensions, using the space around them to bring ideas to life. Through individual exploration and collaborative challenges, they will investigate how line, colour, shape, and form communicate ideas. A special focus will be placed on creative expression, teamwork, and the connections between art, technology, and careers in design.
CTE — Arts, Entertainment, & Design: Explore how artists and designers use creativity and technology to develop and communicate ideas.
Design & Digital Arts: Investigate three-dimensional drawing and visual storytelling, with connections to virtual reality, game design, and digital illustration.
Fine Arts: Apply elements of art to create original work, explain artistic choices, and reflect on the creative process.
