The central aim of Malaysia's policy document Vision 2020, which is to see this country become fully developed by the year 2020, has required a major transformation of its education system. The robust advancement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has demanded its integration into that system. As a subject that places its emphasis on creativity, innovation and critical thinking, Visual Arts Education (VAE) has urged its teachers to utilize the full potential of ICT. The positive impact of integrating ICT in visual art classrooms has been acknowledged in previously published research. However, despite its huge potential and advantages, the present study found that many VAE teachers were not integrating ICT into their art classrooms and that there were many factors influencing their decision not to do so.
