How can we paint using computers?

Now we are all confident at using laptops, this term we will be investigating how we can paint and replicate some famous artists techniques using http://paintz.app

This week, our task was to create a self-portrait. We had the opportunity to examine our prior knowledge and spend time exploring for what the different freehand tools do in the painting program, so that we could add individual creativity to our work.

The children worked in pairs, enabling shared experiences and modelling to their partner what the different tools in the painting program can do. 

We were all able to talk about which tools we used in our paintings, which were easiest/hardest to use and which we liked best…the spray can tool was very popular!

We all succeeded in creating some wonderful pieces of artwork using our laptops.
