Technology and Art

Dear Parents and Students,

This week we will be working with technology in art. The TEKS state that students should demonstrate technical skills effectively by using a variety of media and materials to produce designs. Below are some activities and tools to help you get started in creating a still-life, self-portraits and abstract portraits.

 1. The Drawing Room, Matisse: Drawing Life  In this activity, you are given a blank canvas and two different types of paint brushes in which to compose your still life or self portrait. When you are finished you may click "done" and your drawing will recreate itself.

2. ArtPad  is a digital canvas which allows you demonstrate your technical skills to draw, paint, and color images.  When you are finished, you may view your art work hanging in a gallery.

3. Mr. Picasso Head  is a fun interactive website that allows you to create an image in the style of Picasso. Mr. Picasso Head provides a wide variety of line deigns which make up the features of the face and head you will be creating. In minutes you will be creating art like a master.

I hope you enjoy the activities with art and technology and the endless possibilities of art to  be created.
