Reshaping creativity with 3D technologies: 3D printing and VR in visual arts education

Over the past decades, various emerging technologies have been integrated into classrooms. The implementation of 3D printing and AR/VR technologies in classrooms have been prevalent at all levels of education due to the technologies’ capability to turn a digital model into physical objects and/or physical objects into a digital model. In this talk, I will introduce my teaching practices incorporating 3D technologies into art classrooms in the pre-service teacher education programme, and a short-term workshop at the primary level. In the first part of the talk, a pre-service teacher visual art curriculum involving 3D modeling, 3D printing, and VR to ideate, design, and visualise design ideas will be presented. The second part will describe a short-term workshop designed for primary school students to learn printmaking processes using 3D software and 3D printed plates.

過去數十年來已有許多新興技術被融入至教室教學中。其中以3D列印以及擴充實境、虛擬實境等技術在各教育層級的教室教學中特別受歡迎，這是因其具備能夠將數位模型轉換成實體模型和（或）將實體模型轉換成數位模型的特性之故。在這次的演講中，講者會介紹自己在職前師資培育課程中實際將3D技術融入藝術教室以及一個短期的小學教師研習會的教學經驗。演講的第一部份會討論講者作為一位職前教師所設計的藝術課程，該課程透過3D建模、3D列印、虛擬實境來進行藝術的構思、設計以及視覺化。演講的第二部分將探討一個為了幫助小學教師學習如何透過3D軟體與3D列印板材來進行版畫製作而設計的短期研習會。 Copyright © 2021 Learning and Teaching Expo.
