I will conduct my study as an optional section of a graphics design module on the BTEC Fisrt Extended Diploma. Participants will be guided in the creation of an online art journal, in place of sketchbooks or design sheets, using http://www.blogger.com/.
The use of blogger supports industry based skills in the graphics sector, encouraging use of relevant IT equipment such as digital cameras, scanners and micro-phones, as well as applications/ programmes such as Audacity, Photostory and Adobe Photoshop e.t.c
Participants will be encouraged to adopt a multi-media approach incorporating audio and visual media in support of, or replacing text based analysis of artist research, samples and the production of a final outcome. This approach will facilitate learning particularly well for those who struggle with the more traditional text based method, but may also stimulate deeper learning for high achieving learners by encouraging ongoing reflective thinking as well as catering to a variety of learning styles.
Security setting can be utilised allowing limited access to create a closed group, allowing only group members to view and comment on the participants blogs. However, the potential to allow open access means that participants can experiment with ways of publishing and sharing their artwork with a wider community or potential market.
