Digital Art in Early Education: Balancing Creativity and Screen Time

Digital drawing and creative technology are increasingly finding a place in early childhood education, giving young children new ways to experiment with colour, images, storytelling and design while also raising questions about screen time and appropriate use. Tablets, interactive displays and child-oriented creative applications are now being used alongside traditional materials such as paper, crayons and paint, allowing digital art to complement rather than replace hands-on artistic activities.

Vian Borchertโ€™s โ€˜Luminousโ€™ Exhibition Puts Light, Color and Hope at the Center of Abstraction

Distinguished artist Vian Borchert is presenting LUMINOUS, a solo exhibition centered on light as a metaphor for hope, renewal, clarity and inner awakening. The exhibition runs from August 13 through October 17, 2026, and is being showcased exclusively online through Artsy. Known for her expressionist approach and poetic treatment of abstraction, Borchert uses her signature blue palette to create atmospheric works inspired by the sea, sky and contemplative qualities of nature. Rather than depicting identifiable locations, the paintings present open-ended environments shaped by intuitive mark-making, lyrical color, expressive brushwork and nostalgic memories.

It is a record of human expression at a moment when the meaning of being human is itself being renegotiated. Across paintings, sculptures, textiles, and even works made with breath as a material, a pattern emergesโ€”one that turns a private collection into a cultural argument about memory, identity, mortality, and the future now arriving at our doorstep.
