[9] Live Studio Feed

I was inspired to do some research on live video's in artist studios. This came from a previous blog post that suggests student's learn best when engaged interactively. Additionally I believe that young students should have the oppurtunity to watch artists work live in their studios (natural habitats) to gain an understanding of art as a process and how current artists tackle art making and planning. With technology today, we now have this capability. Student's can follow artists and take notes on techniques and processes to apply to their own works. Teachers can develop lessons that have students choose an artist to follow or even create their own live streaming videos when they engage in their art projects during home or in class (provided the proper technology). The possibilities of this technology are infinite. For assignments where students are working collaboratively (internationally) teachers can set up a website with their students working live for classes to communicate, seek help or provide insight and critique their classmates instead of waiting for the works to be shipped back! There seem to be an endless about of ideas coming to me as I continue to think about the support and possibilities of using this technological concept in my classroom.

Below (and at the top of this blog) are examples of the artist Damien Hirst, and his live studio feed. The second link is also similar- it is a timelapse progression of the current project in his live feed. These are both useful and beneficial sources for artists and students in an art class.
