About Art-student.netNew! Upgraded KS3 homework support for students. November - additional support for the Process Curriculum. We aim to make Art-student.net the most useful critical and contextual studies site for the UK secondary art teacher and student. The Rationale Art-student.net has been created to enable students to find high quality resources for their art research quickly and easily. It has been created from extensive art education experience over many years. The Internet is too vast for there to be any catalogue of all the available art and design resources. Finding precisely what is needed to develop practical work and research is one of the most essential skills that students can acquire. Even Net veterans waste precious time surfing. The Solution As ICT has become embedded in secondary school art department teaching, teachers and students need very precise studio support. Art-student.net provides exactly this allowing students to work on their own. There is much general art available on the Net but it can be confusing and time wasting for students. This was the starting point for creating art-student.net, to provide a net for students theory and visual searches. The Technology Art-student.net has been carefully planned to support art teaching practice and help develop ideas at the students level. With increasing use of whiteboards in art departments the site has been designed for use in any ICT situation, from presenting whiteboard lessons to individual homework research. It provides ICT support for making art in the studio. Art-student.net aims to adapt to the changing requirements of students and teachers in consultation with schools and considering BECTA’s guidelines for embedding ICT.
