 Fairy Evidence animated in DOINK app | Yesterday I watched a video of Lydia, the Fairy Scientist, who is on a mission to find evidence to support her hypothesis that fairies exist. This adorable video shared on Pernille Ripp's blog and tweeted to me by @bmuench is about the scientific method. |
As an art teacher who loves to infuse technology, I thought I would add STEAM to this STEM lesson by creating fairy evidence via a drawing/animation app on the iPad.
I drew this two frame animated fairy in DOINK on the iPad. (Fairies get their energy from pastel colors, so I used a bunch of them).
Then I created a composition in DOINK where I brought in a photo from my garden (fairies like flowers) and drew a path for her to travel over it.
 @greeneyegal | I have evidence of other fairies drawn using drawing apps like sketchbook express on the iPad. These are made in the likeness of friends from my PLN. Click the fairies to see their twitter accounts. |  @tiedemania |
If you decide to draw your fairy in a drawing app instead of DOINK, you would need to save it as a PNG with a transparent background. There is a very convenient app for this called Superimpose (.99) I have been playing with this app to think of new uses for the other tools and stumbled on this idea. I made a silhouette of my fairy drawing by inverting the masking tool and layering black as a background. That sounds hard, but it was just a few clicks, really. I finished off the image in SketchbookX where I added a phrase ala the old iTunes/iPod ads from apple.
