Workshop-Digital painting
Artists have been working with many of the same materials such as brushes, brushes, paints and brushes for centuries. They have elevated working with these to an art. One such example is American Bob Ross. This cult figure became best known for his famous wet-on-wet painting technique and his striking head of hair. With the advent of new technologies come opportunities for 'digital artists' to imitate painting techniques.
This new workshop teaches children how to use their tablets and iPads as creative painting tools. The computer programme they work with has many opportunities to try out brush types, pressure areas, thicknesses and colours. Using an active pen and a tablet/iPad, the children learn to create their own digital painting. In doing so, they try to imitate artists' painting techniques and colours. The fact that this is still quite difficult motor-wise offers the pupils a nice challenge.
Key objectives
Students learn to use computers to communicate. This allows them to translate topics as they perceive them through a digital tool. They acquire some knowledge about and appreciation of aspects of their environment. In addition, they acquire programming in an exploratory phase. They also learn to deal with new media, such as computers, tablets and iPads. Pupils learn to look differently at their environment, as well as improving their sensory perceptions.
