You can include ArtisanCam in your teaching in a number of ways, from classroom activities guided by the classroom workshop video clips to research using timelapse, techniques, influences or questions sections or using the interactive online learning tools. Featured artists usually have seven sections and the table below will tell you what you should expect to see: |

Through using the site, and being encouraged to discuss, reflect on and modify the work they produce, pupils will know, do or understand the following:
|
cross curricular |
Gordon Cheung/Influences Gordon's parents lived in Hong Kong and Chinese technique and culture has influenced his fantasy landscapes. See particularly the Questions and Influences sections. Citizenship KS 1/2 |
timelapse |
The painting Wreck of Hope took about twenty days to complete and has been captured in a timelapse video including the opening at Standpoint gallery, London. |
techniques |
Gordon Cheung is demonstrating techniques used in the production of his work and the painting Wreck of Hope in particular. |
influences |
We took Gordon to the British Museum. He chose an item from Gallery 33, a Chinese calligraphy pen. Gordon's re-telling of a Chinese legend in the Myths and Stories section has potential for cross-curricular work in a variety of areas, most obviously English and R.E. Gordon's identity as British Chinese could stimulate discussion in Citizenship or provide a starter for a Philosophy for Children session.

questions |
Within this section, there are three types of questions; those asked by us, those that have come from children via the live video conference links and questions submitted via the submit button. We encourage the submission of questions but please be aware that we cannot guarantee that the question will be featured on the site. Please try and keep the question reasonably short and questions likely to be successful are those which are different to the ones already on the site. |
