There are four purposes of the study: (1) to investigate functions and contents where computer-image-processing technology can be used to simulate painting; (2) to develop a instructional model that uses computer-image-processing technology to simulate painting; (3) to assess the feasibility of the instructional model which uses computer-image-processing technology to simulate painting. Data was collected by interviewing na?ve participants and the amended “equivalent-time-sample design” quasi-experimental study method was used to analyze results. The participants were 91 pre-service teachers and five senior art teachers. The findings and conclusions are as follows: 1. The functions and contents which computer-image-processing technology can be used to simulate painting tools, strokes, techniques, styles, materials and special effects. 2. Instructional model: Use computer image-processing technology to create image files firstly. Then present and explain the examples, phased test. 3. The feasibility of applying computer-image-processing technology to an instructional model of art painting simulation were accepted. Computer-image-processing technology can enrich teachers' ability, answer questions in same time, enrich instructional contents, help demostration of painting skills, display simulations of painting repeatly, and so on. However, the instructional model of lecture and skill demonstration is more popular than the instructional model of applying computer-image-processing technology to simulate painting by art teachers. The role of computer-image-processing technology should be the tool of aided instruction in art painting instruction.
