        I am a high school art teacher and agree with you that computers can and
    should function together in today's visual arts curriculum. The art careers
    today are, for the most part, combining traditional art media with computer
    technology. There is a big demand for people who have art skills and computer
    skills. Many are being hired from overseas.
        A lot of wonderful art teachers today are reticent about getting involved
    in anything to do with computers. They have established successful teaching
    methods and besides, a lot of the computer applications have high learning
    curves, especially for people who are starting out. Who wants to invest all
    that time and money into it when we are already so busy?
        So, KSchiavo, in response to your e-mail of the reference, I don't think
    you're barking up the wrong tree. Your 8th graders will get exposed to
    computers by you and they'll begin to ask and push for more computers and
    computer classes when they get to H.S. I say do your thing, and don't worry
    about what other successful art teachers are doing.
