Landscape in Sketchbook Express

After listening to the google hangout via Edreach about integrating iPads in the arts. I started thinking about how art teachers can teach the same concepts they have always taught their students using iPads. We don't have to through out all of our thinking about art production and instruction. However, if we can harness the extra benefits of creating on iPads, we can enhance our student's learning and give them opportunities for art creation they haven't had before. In this project above, I would be teaching my young artists about the following concepts and art terms:

• Landscape
  
• Horizon Line
  
• Overlap
  
• Primary colors
  
• Secondary Colors
  
• Shapes
  
• Visual Texture

The additional things we would learn from making this project on the iPad is how to 

• use layers as we create to manage overlapping 
  
• use layer to isolate visual texture to minimize mistakes
  
• make lines into shapes to successfully fill color areas
  
• zoom in to be more detailed

---

Teach students the forgiving benefits of using layers to create art. In this project students:

• can erase on one layer without effecting the others
• can draw with overlapping without having to erase
