The paper examined the state-of-the-art in teaching Fine and Applied Arts in the Colleges of Education in Nigeria. Views and studies by experts and cooperate bodies were analysed. The concepts of Fine and Applied Arts, e-technology use, impacts and influence of technology as well as the state of the art in the instructions of Fine and Applied Arts were also analyzed. The study revealed that the enrolment rate in the department of Fine and Applied Arts in the Colleges of Education in Nigeria continues to dwindle unabated due to the persistence on the conventional method of instructions and lack of interest in the path of the students as a result of uninteresting instructional approach. The paper concludes that the use of an e-technology (state-of-the-art) instructional model can enhance the teaching and learning of Fine and Applied Arts and ultimately improve the performance and interest of the students. It was recommended among others, the provision of e-technology devices to the department and also inculcates the principles of implementation, monitoring and evaluation in order to ensure the success of the initiative.
