What does Virtual Reality mean for you and your Art class?
VR offers unique advantages for the Art room. It can be used to experience major cultural institutions--like The Met (NY) , MoMa (NY), New Museum (NY), The Guggenheim NY, The Tate Modern (LON), AGNSW (AUS), NGV (AUS) and many more--in an astonishingly realistic manner without setting foot in them.
This digital tool (VR) is especially vital as society navigates the new terrain of living during the Coronavirus Pandemic, and using this tool allows us to stay culturally connected, ensuring students do not miss out on monumental historic and cultural events.
Art organisations are beginning to take advantage of the former, and artists are exploring the latter (as art-form and artwork). Galleries are now programming exhibitions as investments both small and large, to stay connected with the educational system and the public in general.
