Promoting Learning and Teaching Visual Arts in Elementary Schools by Using Computers and Software

Despite constant and numerous improvements and innovations in education systems worldwide, usage of computers and software in learning and teaching subject Visual arts on the elementary school level is not common and is therefore not widespread. Preliminary empiric research has proved that this is not only a Croatian, but an international problem. With the awareness of those facts, in short, it was decided to select and asses software that is considered as a valuable addition to learning and teaching process of subject Visual Arts. Final result of this research is a thorough analysis of carefully selected software. Performed analysis undeniably proved that such and similar software definitely has potential to greatly improve promotion of learning and teaching Visual Arts in elementary schools. Another issue that is considered in this paper is oldness of computers in Croatian elementary schools and what can be done in this regard in order to improve current condition.
