About Art-student.net

imageNEW FOR SPRING TERM 2008 -
WEB 2.0 TOOLS FOR THE ART TEACHER AND STUDENT
An extensive new suite of edited web 2.0 tools (image manipulation, image generators, social tagging, wikis, blogging. podcasting and much more!) carefully selected for use in the secondary school art department. To help you to keep up to date with new Web2.0 developments


Art-student.net is a portal of art resources that accurately supports teaching and learning in the UK secondary sector, including sixth form and further education colleges. It helps students by managing and extending their use of ICT in art and design in depth. It is approved by Curriculum Online, FERL and has been awarded Five Stars by Schoolzone.




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. Finding precisely what is needed to develop practical work and research is one of the most essential skills that students need to acquire. We believe that teachers should have access to everything available on the net and our task is to provide fast easy access to the best material!

image 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.
