TEENAGERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF TIKTOK AND ARTMAKING: IMPLICATIONS FOR SECONDARY ART PEDAGOGY

This applied project investigates teenagers’ relationships to and perceptions of content creation on social media, specifically the short-form video app TikTok, in relation to teenagers’ perceptions of artmaking in school and at home to gain a better understanding of the relationship between online content creation and school-based artmaking. New understandings are applied to suggested pedagogical strategies which may be implemented within secondary art classrooms to more fully engage teens’ desire for creative making.
