7.  Technology and 21 st -Century Skills: Arts is one of the more important courses. When looking at technology, learners are provided with the most modern equipment that help aid the learners in their outcome.  Drawing for example, is a major component of the arts course, students are exposed to prominent painters around the globe through the internet (Bartel, 2014).  The learners are taught how to attain success in different artistic work.  When learners take an arts course, they are able to obtain skills that are not taught in other courses.  Learners are able to expose their creativity side, and are able to think outside the box and allow their imagination to create a global concept.  Critical thinking and problem solving are a major influence on communication, learners are able to use this within Arts. Station 3: 21 st -Century Skills Acquisition and Employability

8.  Arts has provided the students with a platform to acquire lots of information regarding their artistic abilities majorly through the internet (Trilling, 2009).  The internet has tools in arts, as well as other courses, students that are enrolled in arts courses are able to show their social and able to cross cultures.  Tools: There are many applications and software that are available for learners who might have difficulty in remembering, these applications are able to keeps their work safe in the system.  Interactions: The attendees will be able to interact with all the tools available at this time, all the tools will be placed on display.  Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions to help spark their interest, staff on hand will be available to educate the attendees.
