Introduction: The study aimed to assess the status of digital art in the matrix of professional competencies among higher education students and explore its potential as a tool for developing creative thinking and skills.
Methods: A qualitative case study was conducted using a survey involving 14 students enrolled in artistic higher education programs. The instrument comprised a six-question questionnaire, combining Likert-scale, binary-choice, and open-ended questions. The responses were analysed through systematic comparison and interpretation of students’ experiences with digital art in the educational process.
Results: The results demonstrated a high level (100%) of student engagement with digital art tools in their curricula. Most respondents (85%) expressed positive expectations about the introduction of digital resources into the learning environment, while 57% acknowledged the practical development of creative skills through digital technologies. Despite this, students identified both benefits and perceived risks in the digitalisation of the artistic process, with equally divided opinions on its potential impact on creativity. The findings reflected a growing awareness of digital art as an inevitable component of modern artistic education.
Conclusions: Digital art was confirmed as a relevant and effective educational tool that supports the development of both digital and creative skills. The study highlighted the need for updated methodological approaches that integrate digital art into educational strategies while preserving the integrity of human creativity.
