Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds (VW) have great potential for contemporary art education. This article introduces the key characteristics of 3D VWs and reviews the research literature and application of VWs in education and art education. After explaining how 3D VWs provide unique possibilities as a contemporary art medium, learning tool, learning environment, and creation and exhibit ground for contemporary art education, the author proposes an integrated 3D VW model for art teacher preparation. Student projects using 3D VW are briefly described and student reflections are provided.
