iPads have undoubtedly changed the way we work together in the classroom. There is more discussion about art, more sharing of ideas, more discovery, more connections with other subjects, more meaning to "real-world" issues, more learning and ultimately more yearning.
Virtual Field Trip.
Students looking at abstract art from the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Together, they discussed and wrote about an artist and the artist's work. They were able to
listen to interviews with the artists and watch a video from the museum's curator.

Still Life Two Ways.
Students sketching with a sketching app and with paper and pencil. They tried both ways to compare the different media. Drawing with your finger is harder than you might think....but the results were great!
Color Wheel Two Ways.
Students creating a Color Wheel with Watercolor and an e-Color Wheel....that is, with an app called "Hello Oil Painter". Mixing colors on the iPad is so real the students were able to create 12 colors with just the three primaries.
