Website overview
About Arty Ideas
Arty Ideas is a free artist-research and project-idea resource for GCSE and A-Level students, founded by art and photography educator Laura Crawford. The site brings several stages of coursework development into separate tools: researching artists, finding a creative starting point, planning experiments and structuring written analysis. Visitors can browse the artist collection or use the Idea Machine, which combines artists, themes, styles and project ideas after the user chooses a subject. Analyse Artists & Plan Experiments lets students choose two artists, compare visual characteristics and techniques, record observations and turn those notes into a practical art or photography experiment plan. Scaffold Your Art Writing provides sentence stems and specialist terminology to support coursework writing. The tools hub brings these resources together for Art, Photography and Textiles projects.
