Creating on iPads
I lead an Art Education Association of Indiana sponsored an iPad workshop with art teachers on Saturday, Feb. 23rd. We explored techniques, ideas, and some apps that would enhance their art curriculum using my Creating on iPads resource page as a reference. Thank you Jill Sayers for organizing this event and Jay Blackman for setting up the tech. Together we drew collaboratively, from photos, in layers, from scratch, emailed art, practiced using the dropbox, grabbing templates, using photographic effects (both web-based and app-based), and created animations using the amazing Doink App. We even looked at how to build a Weebly website to host your links, photos, videos, and files to give access to your students.
Take a look at their creations in the video below:)
Special thanks goes to the folks at Percolator App and Bobbleshop App for giving us free iPad app codes. Attendees were very excited to go home and play!

Using iPads in the Art Room

Over break I was asked to try to summarize how we use iPads in Dryden's art program.
This felt very difficult because it is an organic process that evolves and grows as I learn what my students are capable of accomplishing and what apps are available to enrich our learning. Below are the slides I submitted to Sumit Vishwakarma, iPad artist and speaker. He will be including Dryden's art program in his presentation at the MacWorld Conference in San Francisco titled iPad Art Innovation. I also sent him a video with footage and stills of my students exploring and creating on their iPads (scroll down).
If you are interested in exploring more ideas for using iPads in art, take a look at my Creating on iPads page with tutorials, examples, and files for experimentation.

Students are animating using rotoscope techniques, creating animations with the onion skinning technique in the DOINK app, and using layers over a template in kindergarten.

Students use iPads as an extension to their painting projects as they explore the same concepts but this time with digital media.

Students use apps that transform their art. Wordfoto adds a students' artist statement to the art, Percolator app abstracts the art, Faces iMake stretches their imagination with digital collages.

Creating on iPads: A Practice Page

I'm gearing up for the school year by collecting my resources and making them easily available for anyone who wants to learn some of my tips for how to create on the iPad. There are tons of apps in the app store, but I tried to limit my ideas to only a few so that we can work with what we have on our school iPads while I explore other apps and begin writing grants to get them in the future. (100 ipads=$$ for each app purchase) so I'm trying to keep it simple. Below is a screen shot of the new page I added to my website. Visit it here. There are links leading to resources, videos, tutorials, and files that you can download from your iPad and get started playing right away.

Third graders painted an up close and cropped portrait of Santa much like Andy Warhol's Santa image. Then they used the ipods to photograph and apply a customized effect using the Percolator App.
