“Net.art and Net. Pedagogy: Introducing Internet Art and Digital Art Curriculum”

After reading this research article I still feel that I do not have a straight answer on weather or not Internet art should be considered a form of art. I would argue that fine art is different and a more tradition art form; however, we cannot exclude art being created on the Internet from the art world. Artwork being created on computer programs and placed on the Internet is still an art form because it is originally coming from someone’s imagination. On the other hand, I do not think it is necessary for high school students to learn about Internet art in school. If students are interested in Internet art they should study it on their own. High school art classes could touch on Internet art but for the most part should mainly focus on more tradition art forms and not works that are causing controversy in the art world.
