Navigating the Online Networks of Young Creators: An Investigation of Digital Visual Learning - Juan Carlos Castro

This volume examines how young creators learn, create, and share their visual art online. Drawing from a robust set of case studies gathered locally, nationally, and internationally over three years with young adults 16-24, this work comes together as a crucial resource for understanding the evolving landscape of online art creation and dissemination by young people. The influence of social media is central to this exploration of the continuous cycle of producing, circulating, and consuming of digital images, here designated as digital visual learning networks (DVLN). As technology remains an inherent part of daily activities, contributions provide insights into how young creators harness tools to learn, innovate, and share.
