This month we were very proud that my 2nd grade daughter’s artwork was selected to be in her school’s Youth Art Month show at the public library. This is Daria below, with her art teacher, Ms. Tuttle.
They have their own iPads they carry with them at school (which is very cool and I am starting to wish we had at our school!). They have done a lot of things on them in their regular classroom, like making presentations on Book Creator and recording science experiments and so forth. The school’s philosophy is to teach them how to be active users and creators with technology, rather than passive consumers of technology. Anyways.. she really became hooked on this art program called Amaziograph, which is an app for the iPad. It allows the user to try out 10 different types of symmetry. These 5 artworks of hers (below) were included in the art show.
Below are some of Daria’s drawings using Amaziograph. She has become quite prolific.
The arctic fox is my personal favorite.
Here are a few more of her artworks from this year that were not on the iPad.
I thought this might be something fun for you to try if you have access to iPads at your home or school.
