Online art school in line for a top honour

0 Comments

SCOTLAND'S first virtual art school has been nominated for a national competition. The Midlothian-based Studio Art School will face competition from the BBC and London's Tate Gallery in the New Statesman New Media Awards. The online school, which was set up in a Loanhead farmhouse in October, has been nominated in the education section for the body that has made the most significant ICT-based contribution to learning. Joint director of the school Michael Stewart, who, with three colleagues, ditched his job at Telford College last summer to set up the business, said: "We are delighted to receive this nomination as it recognises the importance of applying new technologies to the problem of accessibility encountered by many in our society. "The Studio Art School provides practical, online tuition for those who cannot access traditional forms of education.

No matter where a student is based, or how restrictive their personal circumstances, they can still receive high-quality art and design tuition." He added: "We still dont know who nominated us - it's a mystery." The BBCs GCSE Bitesize website and the Explore Tate Britain site are also in the running for a top prize. Peter Wilby, editor of the New Statesman, said: "The 2005 New Media Awards will highlight the projects that have really delivered on that promise." Tutors from the Studio Art School, which has pupils from Canada to Nigeria on its roll, have recently come back from a trip to Beijing alongside Deputy First Minister Jim Wallace.
