Lesson Plans: Computer Technology in Art Education

Here you will find four lesson plans I have created for. myclass "computer Technology in Art Education" at Virginia Commonwealth University. I used layouts created by my instructor to come up with Lesson Plans for classes that had technological themes. Each lesson plan uses technology to plan, create, and/or execute an art project.
