Chun Chao Chiu - teachers
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:
general
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:
  1. identify the materials used in drawing [see 'workshops' - 'drawing workshop'].
  2. identify techniques used in producing drawings using a variety of materials [eg. smudging, laying a ground and drawing negative space, in 'workshops: drawing'].
  3. create a series of drawings using the techniques outlined on the site ['workshops: - drawing workshop'].
  4. create a virtual work of public art using the online Art on Location ['workshops' - 'Art on Location'].
  5. realize that there are contemporary artists who create art as a living [passim].
  6. understand the motivations behind the choice of art as a career ['questions'].
  7. understand that an artist's beliefs can influences their work ['questions'].
  8. explain how they made their drawings ['workshops' - 'screenprint workshop' - 'finished prints'].
  9. to make comments about their work, showing understanding of why these materials are used.
  10. to review what they and others have done, say what they think and feel about it and what they might change.
You may find other ILOs equally or more applicable to your pupils' needs.

classroom workshops
The drawing workshop uses the following materials:

  3. Rough textured paper in sheets or a sketchbook
  4. Wax candles
You may also find these things useful:

Tips
  1. Any workshop involving charcoal can be messy.
  2. The drawing exercises with a wax candle and with a brush are intended as short warm-up activities.
  3. When applying the first layer of charcoal do not press too hard.
  4. Try and get the children to work quite large.
  5. Do not move the fruit or turn lights on once the children have started drawing as the shadows will change.
