Read about us in Natural Child World Magazine

Picture
The July-August 2013 Issue of Natural Child World features an article about digital natives and their art. They interviewed me and showcase the artwork of Dryden Elementary School students created on iPads. See the images and article here.


Also, see our article about using the animation app DOINK in iPhone Life Magazine, January 2013 issue.
Also, see our School Arts articles including this one about making Digital Tessellation on iPads:  April 2014

Creativity in Dryden's Art Room from Tricia Fuglestad on Vimeo.

The above animation was made with a combination of apps.
The background was recorded in the Brushes App. The foreground was drawn and animated in Doink. These clips were combined with the green screen FX in iMovie then the whole video was converted to a GIF so it loops here.

View over 220 creative digital art lessons compiled into one digital flyer with links to resources, examples, tutorials and more here. This flyer includes most of my iPad lessons & others together in one place. It will grow with me.

Healthy Choices

Picture
Digital spoof Inspired by Son of Man  Rene Magritte.
View the video of students working. Grab hat. Grab a sample of healthy choices. (disco ball=dancing. That's healthy, right?) Apps needed: Dropbox & Brushes or SketchbookX

Contour Line

Picture
Contour line drawing on an iPad looked like this in class. This is great for students to look closely at any subject. I wanted students to study leaves before we created our watercolor leaf paintings. Grab a leaf and try it yourself.  This is also a great way to try to make Giraffes Dance. See this post. Use this technique for Digital Portraits. See video. Apps needed:  Dropbox & Brushes or  SketchbookX

Green Screen

Picture
Students can digitally enter a piece of art or photo with instant alpha and green screen. Learn about how we used this technique to create "Not Christina's World Anymore".  Try it yourself with these backgrounds and figures. Take a look at my Scream project too. Apps needed: Dropbox & Brushes or 
SketchbookX


Hello! I'm 
Mrs. Fuglestad.
Click on the links from your iPad so you can grab sample files to help you play and learn.
Picture

Grab a Template

Picture
You can send out a template to help your students get started on a digital art project. I used this technique for a monochromatic heart project with 1st grade and a snowman drawing with kindergarten. I had students use the "magic touch" to save the image to their iPads. App needed: Brushes or SketchbookX

Compare-a-Twist

Picture
Create a lesson that helps students "sort out" meaning. This apps allows you to create, store, and share lessons about any subject. Great for the one iPad art room too. View my example lesson & snag my resources.
App needed: Compare-a-Twist
Update: Use this app to add an assessment piece to any project. See this one for Shallow and Deep.

Text and Image

Picture
Use this keynote template (allow the iPad to open this file using keynote app) to make a mock Newsweek cover in on the iPad. Replace my text and image with your own. You can practice with this photo with a transparent background. 
App needed: Dropbox & Keynote
UPDATE: Try it using SketchbookX and Pic Collage apps (both free) here

Rotoscope

Picture
Split the work of animating with this technique. Here is a sample set of images to practice with taken from a 
4 second video with at 12 fps rate. Apps needed: Dropbox & Brushes or SketchbookX  Click the animation below to see an updated post.

Picture

Collaborative Art

Picture
There are many apps that you can build art from using the elements they provide such as Faces iMake, ArtDoodles, and Create A Monster. But you can also build art collaboratively by drawing and passing the iPad to the next artist. Try using this handout as a template for a collaborative figure. Learn more from this exquisite corpse post. Draw on a layer over the template then delete it when done. App needed: Brushes or SketchbookX

Layers & Filters

Picture

This project asks students to layer their own profile into the Old Guitarist by Pablo Picasso. Then explore monochromatic color schemes with a photo filter. Apps needed: Dropbox, SketchbookX & Crazy Photo Booth

Tell Stories with Art

Picture
Puppet Pal HD is an easy app that allows you to animate objects over a background while it records your audio. The free version doesn't allow you to customize images.  Here is an example of a story made with the free version. Here is a movie I made with the full version using my own images and customized backgrounds. App used: Puppet Pals HD, Paid version here. Try this in Educreations too. See my Play Mustard example. Here is an example using the Explain Everything app: Why Art Matters.

Multi-App Art

Picture
Sometime when you are creating you need to combine apps to get the results you want. Here is an example o using Doink to make an Animation with green screen FX in iMovie. See the results and tutorial here. Here is another example for art making with photoshop FX. Here is an animation with garageband to make a Giraffe Dance.

Tessellations

Picture
If you ever tried to teach tessellations to your students with notecards, paper, and lots of of time (see what I'm talking about here), you will LOVE the quick and slick results of the Amaziograph app. Learn how to make translational tessellations here. See Suzanne Tiedemann's examples and tutorial here. Watch my translational tessellation tutorial here.

See my article  in APRIL 2014 Issue of School Arts Magazine.

Layering Images

Picture
My students tried layering a photo of their face into an altered area of Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. Download my altered image here. See how I erased the painting below. Read my post about this lesson here.
Here is a super easy template and blog post about this lesson.

Abstract the Art

Picture
Use the percolator app to make any photo abstract.
Take a look at how these third graders abstracted their Andy Warhol inspired paintings on iPods then emailed me their images for our art gallery. App needed: Percolator App

Analyze/Diagram

Picture
Part of being an artist is observation and studying the world around you. The Skitch app gives students a tools to quickly draw and label over images. For example, download this image then find the vanishing point and converging lines. See this example of Cloud Painting. Grab one of my cloud pics and draw what you see too. App needed: Skitch 

Pop Art

Picture
Add this Pop Art effect to student art or a picture snapped with the iPad camera. App needed:  Crazy Photo Booth

Time Lapse/Stop Motion

This app has two functions. It can make time lapse videos (like the one shown above or here) or it can be used for stop motion animation. The key is to use a tripod or reliable propping system for both of these applications. Here is an example of stop-motion animation. Here is the post that goes along with the video.
App used: iMotion HD (free)

Digital Collages

Picture
There are apps available for creating digital art collages. One of our favorites is Faces iMake to make a piece in the style of Giuseppe Arcimboldo-see his art on my Google Art Project gallery. See the lesson here and here. We also enjoy ArtDoodles  for making Matisse or Keith Haring inspired collages. See the lesson here. There are other collage apps like Pic Collage for making nice arrangements of images, but PlayArt is unique in that you can build a scene from pieces of a masterpiece.

Cat-in-a-hatify

Picture
I wrote a post about some of the ways you can Cat-in-a-hatify your students using Photo Booth FX. I added at the end the pieces to building this image in your iPad. You need the blank book, hat, bow, and sample student.
Layer these items using Sketchbookx
Here is a tutorial for how to use the bookmark template..

 Figure drawing and Portraits

Picture
Teach your students to draw a figure or portrait from a template. 
Download my figure template.
Download my portrait template.
See this blog post to see how my students created figures in Sketchbook express .  Here is an idea for what you can do with the flying figures below. See my students' finished Flying Animations begun on iPads here.

Flying Animation Intro from Tricia Fuglestad on Vimeo.

Animate 

Picture
Doink is a powerful and easy tool for animation.
My third graders loved learning about figure drawing and action poses as they animated aliens. See their creations here.  See my tutorial here. You can download my running poses guide here. App needed: Doink App

Words in the Art

Picture
Sometimes I ask my students to write an artist statement to go with their pieces. Wordfoto app allows students to add their words into their art. See my post on this lesson here. We also tried using this app in our self-portraits with a 6 word poem. See it here.  App needed: Wordfoto

Symmetry

Picture
This figure-ground illusion was made from a student profile traced on a layer using the symmetry function. Then colored with the fill button. Here are some vessel examples to inspire your students. Apps needed: SketchbookX
View a tutorial on my post here.

Digitally Sculpt

Picture
There are a bunch of apps available to give students a digital sculpting experience. We made clay masks in class then took turns making one digitally using the 123D Sculpt app. See post of students using this app.

Replace Paper

Picture
Some apps teach the same concepts that we already teach but open even more opportunities, are much easier to use, and give quick and beautiful results. Try teaching rotational symmetry with the MY FLAKE app (free) or Kaleidoscope Drawing App (free).  Use the app as a way to practice the concept or create the final piece. Here is how I used the My Flake app  while incorporating  the science of snowflakes. Here are Suzanne Tiedemann's students' rotational symmetry designs in Kaliedo Free.

Cartooning

Picture
BobbleShop app is a great way to introduce cartooning and portraiture to your students. It is a huge download full of every choice in facial features, tons of  hair styes, accessories, etc.  to really capture a likeness. Check it out here.

Visual Notetaking

Picture
I used the Paper app to take notes visually. But this can be done in so many other drawing apps too.See my notes from our district inservice days. 
UPDATE: My new favorite viznote app is Flipink: less $, more tools included,  and easier interface. See example note.
Update again: the old version of Brushes is really perfect for viznotes. See my viznotes explained here.

iPad Tips

Picture
I try to share ideas about what is working in the art room as we work on iPad art lessons. Here is a collection of my blog posts where I've posted these ideas.
  • Why I love the Dropbox
  • Mirroring the iPad Wirelessly
  • Accessing images on iPads
  • Secret folder for sharing images
  • My Podcast about management ideas via Arts Roundtable

Picture
I created a very short document with some more instructions to help you along as you practice creating on iPads.  Download this pdf here.
I know I'm skipping lots of little steps  and tips that I would share with my students, so let me know if you get stuck on something and need more help.  Here is the post that introduced this page. It contains more information.                      
                                     Have fun!
