About 'art programs'|fibre friday: save Capilano Studio Arts and textile Program!
Artsonia is an internet-based company which is a venue for art teachers to display their students' artwork in their school galleries online. Artsonia may also be used by art organizations, as well as parents uploading their child's own work. The benefits of Artsonia for a K-12 Art teacher are endless. The task of creating an online school art gallery is already done for you - there is no need to design a page on your own, or have to submit it to your webmaster, or deal with HTML or anything else that you don't want to worry about. Artsonia creates your page for you; it is simply up to you to upload your students' artwork and assign the work to eah student. Website Tools Artsonia also gives you tools you may need for promoting your school website. They have downloadable files you may print, including Student Awards, Send-Home Letters for Parents, and Press Releases. There are also easy tools for setting up your school roster by name and grade level, for adding or removing students as needed, and for viewing your school's awards. Internet Safety Artsonia is very safe, and keeps privacy and confidentiality a priority. No full student names are ever used or listed on the site; students are each assigned a unique ID instead (for example, Adam555555). And photos of students are not permitted for additional security. Parents are encouraged to register at the website for their child, to be able to review comments that are made, publish additional work, send out invitations and more. They can also get emails sent, informing them whenever a new artwork has been published. You may include a background statement for each gallery you upload, so that as a parent opens up their child's artwork, they can see what the point of the lesson was, and what their child was learning. Benefits for Students Students will be excited to see their artwork online each time a new work is published. Each student will have their own 'Portfolio' of work, that each new item is collected into. If a teacher is diligent, students can accumulate a large portfolio of digital work, which is very beneficial - especially to high school students planning to enter college and study art. It is also beneficial for students to be able to look back upon their past work and see how much they have grown and developed their skills. Additionally, the online art gallery is a great tool for students who tend to 'lose' their work or forget about what they've done. Students who are also constantly reminded that their artwork is being shown online and will be seen by others (including family, friends and peers), also tend to pay more attention and give more effort to the what they are working on. Connecting Friends and Family Artsonia is also a way for students to connect with friends and family. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and friends that do not live close by or may not be able to see a child's work can all go to that child's page to see all their published work. They can become 'Fans' of the student, as well as leave them encouraging comments about their work. They can also receive updates on when new artwork has been published. Family and friends may also purchase affordable gift items with their child's artwork on them as well. Benefits for the Teacher There are many benefits for Art teachers on the website as well. As a teacher, you may include your own profile, add a school link and leave messages for those viewing your page. You may submit Art lessons online (which can easily be saved and stored, then printed off later when you need a lesson in a hurry), and you may also search through thousands of Art lessons from other teachers and schools, finding a ton of great new ideas, with standards, objectives, assessment, materials and procedures all listed. You can also put up your own portfolio of artwork if you would like. Artsonia is a great way for teachers to keep record of the projects they have done in the current year, as well as keep track of lessons they have taught in past years. It is a fantastic tool to use at Parent-Teacher Conferences. When meeting with parents, simply pull up their student's Artsonia page and show them the work the student has done that year. Plus, to an administrator, being diligent about updating your school art gallery really shows those in charge what you are doing in class, what the students are learning, and that you are on top of your game. You will also find that you will get multiple compliments and positive feedback from those administrators, from parents, from students, as well as other teachers looking at your page; and that your reputation as a professional will improve greatly! How Your School Will Benefit Your school or organization also has many advantages from using Artsonia. Not only does this website promote your school, and all the wonderful Art projects that your students are doing in class, but it shows that your Art class is a place for learning, that students are hard at work, and that you - as a teacher - keep your class up-to-date with the latest technology. You may also earn money as fundraising for your school or Art program. Not only are family and friends able to purchase affordable gifts with their child's artwork on them, but a certain percentage of the money earned from those purchases goes back to support your school or Art department. You may also use Artsonia to submit student artwork to various constantly-updated Art contests as well, for more school publicity. How To Set Up Your Artsonia Page It is incredibly easy to use Artsonia. In fact, even a teacher without much computer knowledge can use it fairly well. The process is simple. Go to www.artsonia.com and create an account. Take photos of your student's artwork using your digital camera, and upload the photos to your computer. Log in to Artsonia and simply 'upload artwork'. You can include relevant background information to the project, specify which grade or group students are in, assign work to each student and edit as needed. Within minutes, you will be done. Techniques to Streamline The Process Lastly, I have found in my five years of using Artsonia that there are a couple tips that will make the whole process go even faster and much more smoothly: 1.) Wait until all artwork has a label with the student's name on it, is matted and displayed on the wall, then use your camera - with flash - and zoom down the wall, taking pictures of each artwork. You may even have reliable students take the pictures. Make sure each artwork has the name visible. If needed, I have - at times - created a list of student's names in the order in which I took the pictures, so that I knew whose were whose later when I had to rename them. (This was mostly done when student sculptures were being photographed or when names were not highly visible.) 2.) Take pictures and upload them immediately after you have finished a project. This will prevent you from getting backed up with too many unsorted pictures at once. 3.) Upload pictures to your computer, and group them into classes/projects with descriptive names. These file names will not be shown later on the website. For example, you could name them: "2nd OKeeffe Adam A", including the grade, the project and the child's name. Or simply organize your folders, one for a grade level, one for a project, with student names as files. 4.) Use Photoshop or any other simple picture editing tool, and quickly go through each picture and crop out frames/mats and name labels, so that only the artwork is showing. Use an "Auto Brighten/Contrast" feature if you have one. The point is that you only want to see the artwork, and nothing else. 5.) If you are taking pictures of sculptures, make sure that you sit them in front of a blank or solid background, drape a white sheet or fold a white piece of posterboard to pose them on top of. 6.) Again, I stress, publish artwork after each project. It will become a part of your routine and will not take long to do, if you are diligent about doing it immediately afterward. If you have the time and resources, go through the process at school before you leave. (Or create a routine, such as taking pictures throughout the week, but only publishing them online during weekends.) 7.) Bring up Artsonia often during your classes. Announce to students when a new gallery of student work has been published. Remind them how you (or they) are going to be taking photos of their artwork work when they are done. As time and resources allow, show Artsonia to them during class so they can see their artwork online. 8.) Promote Artsonia as much as you can. When you are talking with parents, ask if they've seen their child's new artwork lately online. Inform administrators when new artwork is published. Put posters around the school. Send home letters often. Promote it at your school art show; I've even set up a laptop to register parents on the spot right at my school's spring art show. You may also display slide shows of student work, that can be shown both during conferences or during those art shows. Or find a way to display slide shows in the school. 9.) Include a few words in the background statement for each project you upload. It may seem like a little bit of additional work at the time to have to write what the students learned, or the artists they learned about, or the skills being developed. But that extra amount of time will benefit you ten-fold in the long run. |
