Art in the digital revolutionArt in the digital revolution
In the digital age the distinction between art and everyday life is further diminished through sites such as You Tube and Flicker, where anyone can post his own images
Thus the Internet is helping to democratize art
Relationship -Art and LanguageRelationship -Art and LanguageArt stimulates visual meaning, which stimulates
the ability of description and provokes comment
Promotes students´imaginationProvides unforgettable experience transferred

Awakes emotions and feelings which consequently enthuse learners to participate in discussion
