Abstract

This study explores the real effect and positive influence of the use of two mobile art apps, The Met and Artnet News, on online art practice on the basis of understanding their cognition of contemporary art development and art apps. The target group for this study is art college students affected by Covid-19 for online learning. The main goal is to determine the daily use frequency of college art students who use mobile art apps to learn online, as well as the cognitive status of college art students and the actual effect of using mobile art apps for online learning based on a comparison of the data from the two research groups and the control group. The researchers used a quantitative study design with a simple questionnaire survey distributed to 90 pre-university students to collect their cognitive state of modern art and frequency of use of mobile art apps. They were then divided into groups to compare the actual effect of these students after utilizing the mobile art app for further study with the test data to the group that did not utilize the online learning platform to obtain the final research results. Through specific data, this study not only reveals the understanding and cognition of art college students affected by Covid-19 on the current situation of contemporary art development, but it also encourages students to use mobile art apps to expand their theoretical knowledge reserve and apply it to the practice of contemporary art creation in addition to online classroom learning in colleges and universities.
