Although articles have been published recounting individual lessons or units of study within the digital arts field, few were created for the elementary level. There has been a great outpouring of articles, which have stated the need for the visual arts instructor to embrace and incorporate digital media into the visual arts program. However, to create such a curricula to be taught within an online venue appeared to be entirely unique. This researcher proposed to design and teach such a curriculum within a learning management system (LMS) to fully embrace the use of new media and to fully utilize technology forms familiar to students. The instructional goal was to teach basic 3D modeling skills by utilizing and tracking student progress through the use of a virtual learning environment (VLE). This research was relevant because it illustrated that elementary age children could be taught sophisticated software through an online environment. There is a need for the children of today to learn digital arts. Currently there is a void.
