Access issues in the digital world

 

Challenges of going digital

There have been a few challengers in building my online presence.

Firstly new platforms to learn to navigate - for my workshops I have been learning to use zoom and photography tips at the same time. 

Teaching on ZOOM!

Technical Studio Set Up - Camera angles and lighting 

 

 Researching and navigating virtual art galleries and choosing the right platform for my artwork.

The right communication for the different people I am working with.

Technology and Access Needs for Deaf and Disable Artists

Going Digital

 

During the pandemic our lives have changed and most of use have been studying, training or working online.  Digital platforms have become the new way to check in with family and friends.  ZOOM, facebook rooms and google meeting, is where we're likely to me these days, rather than at a local shopping center. 

While were home 'saving lives' the state and federal government want to keep the economy going and hopefully growing again soon.  The Queensland Government had some arts grants available as part of its recovery and I successfully applied for one to build my digital skills and presence online.  

My project is called Deb's Digital Den -  most of the action has been happening on FACEBOOK AND ZOOM.

The objectives of the project art too:

• Showcase my artwork online
• Prepare resources for early childhood educators
• Present to Artists Living with disabilities

To date I have been using ZOOM to develop my presentation skills and workshop content.

I have also finished drafting some resources for early childhood educators
