For 2 1/2hrs a day for four day a group of 4th-6th graders wowed me with their amazing artwork on iPads. They were so smart about navigating the ipads, understanding the apps, and fearlessly creating art in a way they never tried before. They used layers, transparency, zoomed in/out, tried brush sizes and styles and then ran their final work through some photo apps for even more fun. What I heard the most is that they want to do this all the time. Three of the 10 students went home and emailed me more art they created during the evenings on their parents' devices. Hows that for enthusiasm. View their art galleries on Artsonia:
