Art and design online â how to teach creative subjects remotely
We might feel we know our way around a Zoom call, but when it comes to visual media, weâve yet to explore the creative possibilities that technology offers.
Iâm a regular user of tech, though itâs mostly standard fare. For me, COVID-19 led to tweaks, rather than leaps in my practice.
At Ludlow Sixth Form College, where Iâm head of visual arts, media and film, we had to embrace the various image editing programs used by students, and the loss of formal work experience was replaced by Zoom tutorials â all led by academics, past students and creative employers. We even made a link with Aardman Animations, where students formed a focus group panel and reviewed new animations.
