projects
This is a slowly growing resource area containing ideas for art projects that embed the use of digital media.

While recognising that art and design teachers are meeting National Curriculum requirements in "sometimes exciting and innovative ways", the OfSTED subject report for art and design in secondary schools also identified a need to broaden pupils' experience of ICT as a creative medium at key stage 3. Rather than having to use an inhospitable and oversubscribed ICT room if your art department does not have a dedicated suite, most of the suggested projects could be undertaken in the art room on a small number of machines, or even a single computer, by rotating pairs and small groups of pupils through the ICT activities and those in traditional media.

Video projects and tutorials have been moved to a separate section accessed via the tabs or top navigation.
e-sketchbooks e-sketchbooks and portfolios - how to manage and present digital work to record process and outcomes for formative and summative assessment, and to build up an archive of pupil work in new media, with illustrated examples.
assessment criteria Assessment criteria for digital work - download assessment grids for projects using digital manipulation, animation and digital video that can easily be adapted by deleting or adding criteria.

Art sleuth button

 Art Sleuths - activities to track down a mystery painting and a web search to find out more about the artwork and the artist. Help students improve their internet search skills and use criteria to judge how trustworthy and useful the information they find is.
Site Specific - this project introduces pupils to the different forms that site specific art can take, and uses image editing software to create a realistic proposal in response to a commission for an artwork for a particular location. 
Graphic Design Graphic Design - create a double-sided flyer to promote a club night or music event. Download a PowerPoint presentation on flyer design as a topic introduction. There is also an evaluation worksheet to download.
Cultural Identity Cultural Identity - develop cultural passports or banners from composite digital images; download a short PowerPoint presentation on three contemporary black British artists; and supplement contextual studies with interactive exercises on the work of Chris Ofili.
Mixed Media Collage - Photoshop Mixed Media Collage: Photoshop - a mix of real and virtual collage that could be managed on a single computer with scanner and printer.   
Mixed Media Collage - Paint Shop Pro Mixed Media Collage: Paint Shop Pro - the same project, but with step-by-step help for this application.  
T-shirt Designs T-shirt designs - a textiles project to design a customised t-shirt from digital photos and text printed on heat transfer paper.
Take a Picture - Rousseau Take a picture ... - a web search, a PowerPoint presentation and how to make a digital postcard inspired by Le Douanier Rousseau's painting "Tiger in a Tropical Storm (Surprised!)", 1891.
