Pencil Vs Camera Popular in Primary and Secondary Schools

Since 2013, Ben Heine's Pencil Vs Camera concept has become popular in primary and secondary schools worldwide. Heine was quickly contacted by art teachers and schools requesting to use and teach his techniques to their students. They are showing them Heine's creative process through pedagogical worksheets and ask students to do similar images to stimulate their imagination, train their drawing and photography skills, encourage them to use new technologies and motivate them to share ideas and communicate. Heine's work also allows teachers to discuss the differences between observational and imaginative drawing with the art class. The students either create their own artworks from scratch or use Heine's images with the sketch removed to have something to start with (see below).

Since Heine's creative techniques became part of art lessons in many primary and secondary schools, different art lesson plans giving instructions on how to use his concept are spread by schools and art teachers on the Internet in France and in the United Kingdom (see some examples below). Heine has also given frequent interactive conferences to schools in Canada. In June 2014, one of the classes studying Heine's concept in Belgium (Katholieke Centrumschool Denderleeuw) visited his studio in Rochefort (more info). 

Here below in red are some lesson plans examples based on Ben Heine concept for primary and secondary schools, followed by links showing applications in art classes in the UK, France and Canada (this is a selection, there are numerous other examples in French schools). If you're an art teacher, feel free to use or improve this material for educative purposes.

In A House of the
Lonesome Night

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Down the streets where I'm from
A song comes easily to play
On the piano chords I strum
But nothing for long will stay
The days are like a river
In their calling and longing's fire
The voices of the wind shiver
While whispering to me its desire

In a house of the lonesome night
Love songs of my dreams away
Come in their fancy and flight
Each of their shading and lay
A love is man's truest giver
Of anything that comes and goes
And the poet their passions deliver
To give words that the wind blows

Down the streets there are no names
Only leaves that are dancing on
In flickering shadows and flames
Till the hours of longing is gone
Every day has its own true meaning
With life that clashes and unfolds
In ways of disclosure and gleaning
Every aspect of its living remolds
