Creating on iPads Workshop, Antioch

1/14/2013

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.

Creating on iPads workshop SD 34

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.

Collaborative art project This is the drawing I began then three other art teachers contributed to it as we pass it around.

We loved DOINK for animation

Used my handouts, tutorials, examples

I updated my Creating on iPads handout for this workshop. You can download it here.
It includes some more project ideas and changes Brushes App to Sketchbook Express.

New App: Bobbleshop Great app to prepare students for a self-portrait or cartooning unit

New App: Amaziograph This app makes tessellations. Here I'm trying a Keith Haring themed tessellation

Tricia,
You have inspired me to learn more and do more with my iPad in my middle school classroom. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful art ideas and lessons. I look forward to meeting with you again in the future!

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?

I have a new iPEVO and just got it operating. I will be documenting my art camera experiments (failures and successes) with my own art tech learning. I'm trying new apps and testing them to see how I can use them for art processes connected to technology. I'm in charge of my own technology education with the help of my principal who just purchased the iPEVO for the art department. He understands that I'm willing to be a connected educator and do PD independently using my iPad 2, Wifi, and Apple Projector. I use Twitter to research new tech ideas. I'm glad I have you in my PLN.

Hi,
Does your ipevo take video? Mine only does still shots?

Molly, the iPevo doesn't make videos, but you can use screen capture software like QuickTime or mimio to make a movie showing what you are seeing through your iPEVO.
