OER are ideal for fine arts subjects. Unlike traditional textbooks, which can be costly due to the need for printed full-color photos and even ancillary materials like music recordings, OER can include music, video, and more to provide an immersive learning experience at no cost to students. The materials in this collection will allow any student to dive into and develop a deeper understanding of their chosen discipline.
