digital drawing

Microsoft Paint became a useful tool to fostered students’ creativity in ‘Creative Art’. My cooperating teacher believed that students’ should explore various mediums and materials in art education, and using the computer was one of them. With this experience, children were using Paint to create their own pictures and explore the software in their own time. I found that this digital drawing tool provided an appropriate canvas for children to express themselves and their ideas.

Their interactions with the different drawing tools and their reaction to their finished product indicated they enjoyed the experience. The teacher also recommended a website, ‘Art Education Page for K12′, that teachers use to aid the integration of technology with art education. I found this very useful for both prac and the university subject, Creative Art Education.

 This artwork was created on Microsoft paint.
