Abstract: Despite the opportunities afforded art teachers in the use of technology today, many of them avoid these opportunities; either because they are not interested or they prefer the traditional way of teaching or they lack the know-how to use them. A cursory look at our Art institutions and Departments in Nigeria today reveals that there is need to overhaul the training methods and facilities in the system to meet global standard and technology-driven society of our time. This paper discusses the place of technology in Art pedagogy; looking at studio practice and theory, its influence on art production and sustainability in the future. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the quality of computer gadget-aided paintings and those made from real objects among selected students in tertiary institutions. Methodology adopted includes literary review, survey and practical experiments. The paper points to the fact that the role of technology cannot be over-emphasized in art teaching and learning, exhibition and sale, recording, preservation, as well as documentation and archiving of art experiences. It is recommended that teachers of Art must be abreast with modern techniques in teaching in a dynamic and technology-driven world of today.
