Artes on the highway (in Dutch "Artes op de snelweg") is a teamwork in which the guiding teachers and students explore the possibilities of internet and multimedia and learn how to use it in a critical way.

Starting from an assignment, close to the subjects history and aesthetics, the students of the fifth and sixth year (general and technical education) learn to work with multimedia and internet. Therefore they get the support of the history teacher and the language teachers.

The students' task is to collect as much information as possible, by means of internet and multimedia, about artists from Classicism till Cubism. We think of artists in a broad way. It's about painters, sculptors, architects, authors,… In the first place the students must learn how to work with internet and multimedia but they also must be able to develop a critical sense towards the information they are looking for. Further on they must be able to store the information they found to process it afterwards in the website. As the schoolyear goes on they will have to present their work.
