| Summary: | Blockchain technology and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are revolutionizing the creative arts with their decentralized and secure systems. NFTs, traded on decentralized blockchains, have reshaped the industry in alignment with Industry 4.0. Despite research exploring NFT perspectives among Gen Z, digital artists, and engineers, their impact on creative arts education remains underexplored. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) for inclusive education and lifelong learning, this framework aims to address this gap. By investigating why art students are increasingly integrating NFTs into their creative processes, our study aims to enhance educational outcomes and career opportunities in the arts industry. We seek to uncover how NFTs can foster innovation and inclusivity in creative education, providing practical insights for educators and policymakers to leverage digital advancements for the benefit of students and the broader creative community. Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s theory of Phenomenology of Perception acts as the theoretical framework for understanding how creative art students perceive NFT technology. ©2024 IEEE.
