This project is part of the images project cluster in this particular
programme. The main focus for projects in this cluster is on the creation
and use of still image collections for learning and teaching.
This project will produce a pilot resource and web site exemplifying work
associated with and held within Higher Education Institutions which
represent the value and influence of the artist practitioner in Fine Art
Education. In the first instance the pilot resource will deliver on-line
around 200 digital images and associated metadata made up from work
selected from 10 Higher Education Institutions, along with the full
digitisation of the Council of National Art Awards Trust Art Collection,
which includes work by many extremely important figures in British Art such
as Henry Moore, Bridget Riley and Richard Hamilton.
The pilot resource will be on-line by the end of October 2002, and pending
the recommendations which result from the pilot, a full scale model,
involving a broader range of Institutions and pieces, may be initiated.
