Art in ICT

Progress in the digital arts and multimedia continues to take place at an unprecedented rate with ICT firmly entrenched throughout the creative industries. To pursue a career in an art related field now requires a practical working knowledge of digital technology, whether in the design industries, publishing, engineering, architecture, photography, film, web or games development.

These projects are aimed at bridging the gaps between the needs of employers, Further and Higher Education and Schools with regard to skills in the Digital Arts. They reflect the needs of the twenty-first century and help build relevant life-skills in an approach that is both inclusive and of benefit to all.

Projects

Urban Art

A group of thirteen year old pupils were caught drawing graffiti in The Learning Centre, no cans of spray paint were found, it was all done on computers.


Digital Stamps

The Digital Stamp Project was based upon an idea already undertaken on paper which was adapted for the computer. Pupils get to create their own Stamp designs using Photoshop Elements.

The Learning Centre is developing new online materials to help develop the role of Photoshop Elements in the classroom with practical exercises, assets ready to download and online training videos.
