Abstract:
This qualitative study explores learnersâ€™ perspectives on digital art media platforms, aiming to uncover the benefits, challenges, and influences on their experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and document analysis and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that participants perceived various benefits of using digital art media platforms, including access to diverse tools and resources, enhanced creativity, and opportunities for collaboration. However, they also encountered technical issues, learning curves, and authenticity concerns. Participantsâ€™ backgrounds, including prior experience with digital tools and cultural contexts, significantly influenced their perceptions and use of digital art media platforms. Recommendations for educators and developers include improving usability, providing comprehensive training and resources, and promoting diversity and inclusion in digital art education.
