using ICT
ICT across the curriculum (ICTAC) pack
The training pack for ICT across the curriculum (ICTAC) forms part of the Key Stage 3 National Strategy's support for whole-school improvement.
The following examples were first published on the CD-ROM supplied with the ICT across the curriculum (ICTAC) pack and were chosen to give a flavour of the type of activities in which pupils' ICT capability can be applied and developed within the context of art and design. They also broadly reflect the ICT key concepts identified on page 15 of the ICTAC pack as being significant to the art and design curriculum. The examples offer support for the teaching and learning of art and design. They provide opportunities for pupils to apply their own ICT capability to new contexts and suggest ways in which teachers can use ICT as a tool for teaching.
In each example, reference is made to the ICT key concept being applied or developed. In each case the relevant ICT objectives have been taught before they are applied in the art and design lesson.
Based upon the QCA scheme of work, unit 7B, What's in a building? The activities enable pupils to use a variety of ICT capabilities with the intention of producing and printing out a digital collage. Although there is emphasis on the choice of image and the final product, a lot of image manipulation and development should take place in between these two processes. The inventive and creative use of this digital material and the final printed product are the most importance aspects of the lesson.
Lesson plan (Word doc)
This two-part lesson is part of a sequence of ten. The sessions shown in detail here are lessons 2 and 3 in the sequence. They form part of the QCA scheme of work, unit 8a, Objects and viewpoints. In this unit pupils explore familiar objects from different viewpoints as the starting point for their work.
The work is intended to develop pupils' ability to analyse and talk about how artists can change the way in which we represent the world. The ICT element allows pupils to explore this by combining line drawings taken from different perspectives. Techniques such as fill and edit for manipulating graphics are used to enhance this exploration.

The Reverse Tracing technique (Word doc)
Virtual Cubist Trail (Word doc)
Part of a unit of work called Mapping identity. Pupils explore their personal identity as a starting point for making imagery and collecting information which will build up 'a picture' of themselves. This lesson is based on the QCA scheme of work, unit 9A: Life events, and unit 8B: Animating art. It is part of a sequence in which pupils select images and information to be included in a short animated presentation, designed to communicate an aspect of their identity to others.

Exercise 2 (Word doc)
This a set of three connected lessons in which pupils work in small groups to develop a group collage on the theme of Location and identity. They will use a range of visual information such as newspapers, photographs, maps and leaflets, personal statements and digital media about the local area. The collages produced will be sent by e-mail to other groups who will modify the images and respond, with the modified image, to the creators. In this way pupils can communicate visually responding to a variety of stimuli in different contexts and, through e-mail, collaborate with others by exchanging images and text. Pupils will learn how to express ideas and feelings in words about an image received via e-mail.

Practical Support Pack -
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/subject.aspx?t=2&s=3
This website was set up by the DfES to support the National Strategies, The Practical Support Pack is an online collection of high quality lesson content, lesson plans, multimedia resources and ICT support materials designed to help teachers develop their teaching practice using ICT.
The art & design modules are linked to the National Curriculum and QCA schemes of work.
They address three key focus areas: artists and designers - developing a better understanding of artists' work to help enrich pupils' own; shape and form - two big concepts which pupils can explore in a risk-free way and environment and people - developing ideas that combine traditional materials with digital outcomes.
Materials include lesson plans, classroom resources and practical advice, written by experts in teaching art & design using ICT. Modules include video or text examples of the lesson in action, and pupils' work.
Below is a brief description of each of the art and ICT modules
Animated images
In this module pupils use animation software to explore movement and ideas about style and genre in art. They learn about sequencing images and analyse sources in preparation for creating their own animated sequence.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21343
Artists and cubist portraits
Pupils use the concepts and ideas in cubism to explore portraits and identity. They learn about the ideas, methods and processes used by artists who have made images of themselves and others.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21351
Change your style
In this module, pupils develop their own ideas on the theme inside/outside an explora-tion of self and use image manipulation software to combine scanned fabric samples with their own images to be incorporated into a costume or body adornment.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21351
Changing shape and form
In this module pupils explore distortion through an exploration of the work of artists past and present. They learn about the ideas and approaches used by artists to create ana-morphic images, and use traditional and digital media to develop their own anamorphic designs.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21353
Design, pattern and surface
These lessons focus upon printmaking - the pupils will create a motif and experiment with variations of surface pattern that can be constructed from it. This will develop their understanding of how to construct a surface pattern and will lead to discoveries or re-search into different printmaking techniques.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21344
Graphic designs
This module focuses on pupils creating publicity materials and using technology to achieve a professional appearance for their design.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21342
Image and text
In this module pupils explore ideas and feelings about themselves and their lives as a starting point for creating images. They explore a range of imagery including paintings, prints, digital images and photojournalism to learn how visual information and text can be organised to help express ideas, beliefs, and values.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21355
In sight, on site
This module focuses on pupils creating a three-dimensional site-specific work for a local environmental setting. They use digital cameras to document the location, before de-signing and making a small-scale maquette. These are digitally photographed to show how the work will appear on site in a proposal to the site owner.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21354
Multiple images
In this module pupils explore line, shape, colour, texture and pattern in the environment or the human form as two starting points to develop ideas for print making. They explore the work of artists/print makers and develop an understanding of different printing proc-esses including digital prints.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21345
Narrative art and animation
Pupils will investigate the work of artists and contemporary animators to inform their making of a short narrative animation.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21350
Raised surfaces
This module looks at two three-dimensional starting points, natural forms and human heads to transform them from representational images into expressive and abstract forms. This helps pupils to explore shape, form, surface, texture and pattern to make a bas relief or panel, by using ICT as their research or design tool.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21340
Researching artists
The Internet is a rich source of information for researching the work of artists and de-signers, past and present and from different cultures. This module shows how to search the Internet and make a slide presentation or reference sheet about artists and their work.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21348
Responding to an artist
Pupils respond to works of art through looking, discussing and recording their views us-ing both words and images. ICT can enable pupils to respond directly by making it pos-sible for them to combine fragments of artists' work together with their own.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21352
Sculpture in a place
In this module pupils explore public art in their local area and use the Internet to explore sculpture in different locations around the world. They research, develop and record their own ideas to create a small-scale sculpture or maquette.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21341
Textile design
This module challenges pupils to search, find and investigate information about dyed, constructed, and printed textiles, and to use desktop publishing to present their out-comes. Underpinned by Internet research, this module bridges pupils' work in art, de-sign and technology with a webquest to inform their investigation and exploration of creative ideas for practical work.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21347
Viewpoint and composition
In this module, pupils use a digital camera or a scanner to collect resources of familiar objects from different viewpoints. They develop their ideas using a range of media and combine selected elements using image manipulation software as the starting point for a painting.
www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/module.aspx?t=2&s=3&y=&p=&m=21349
Virtual sculpture trails
This module explores ways in which three-dimensional work is presented in the form of virtual sculpture trails. These allow pupils to engage with the work of sculptors and de-velop an understanding of sculpture. Pupils will use presentation software to make a simple virtual sculpture trail.
