Today I had the privilege of working with a great group of art teachers in Antioch, IL on using iPads to create in the art room. We spent the whole day exploring techniques, lesson ideas, and some great art apps. I'm so glad I made my wish for an iPEVO because my wireless plan for mirroring the iPad  failed on their school's wireless network. By the way you can make a wish for an IPEVO too at this link.

We tried an exquisite corpse project
One of the lesson ideas on my Creating on iPads page. You can download my template, draw the head, pass it to your neighbor who draws the next section, then pass again to the next person, and so on until the figure is complete. This is a great way to introduce figure drawing to your students.

Thank your for the tip! I just submitted my wish list.
I wish I could find an iPad workshop, I know I would really benefit. I also wish I had access to the iPads in the classroom. Some districts seems so advance with technology!

Thanks for posting all your resources. I would love to try sketchbook express and the word portrait with my students?
