Digital Art





Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please write a comment on this post in which you share the art you made and write about the process of making the art.

As you consider what you will write, think about the following questions...

1. What is the very best thing about this tool or the way in which you use the tool?

2. What might be improved - on your part, or the part of the tool? How easy is it to find helpful tutorials on the site/tool or on YouTube?

3. What are some of the potential risks and benefits for teachers and students using this tool?

4. How easy is it to keep your work and make use of it with other tools?

5. How might students represent their learning (in your actual content area) using this tool?

Thanks in advance for your great thinking.


Some tools you might consider...

Google Drawings: My "go to."

Sketchpad.io: Kids love using this one, especially with drawing tablets.

Youidraw: Fun to play with logos and vector art.

Piktochart: Make information fun.

Canva: Lots of great options, use image search. Freemium.

Pixton: Comics. Freemium.

Easel.ly: Infographics, timelines, process charts...

Piskel: Free online image editor for animated sprites and pixel art

  1. I think that They all can be useful when creating music. But sound trap is probably my favorite program because you can mix music simply by dragging the beats.

  2. I think that scratch is my favorite cite because 1) I have over 40 games that I have made on it. And 2) It has more blocks and options than any other so that you can make more unique games.

  9. Here is a free pixel-based font-building website that you can use to make your own downloadable/usable font/typeface.

  10. I didn't care for Google Drawings that much. It seemed really basic and far too much like a Microsoft program.

  11. Loved the information. Sketchpad was probably my favorite for creativity and the closest drawing experience to the real thing. Google Cultural Institute is awesome. Bringing all tech back to students learning is the key.

  13. I enjoyed Google Cultural Institute, Google Maps, and the Coding section more than the other Digital Art sites. I found the Wacom tablets difficult to work with and would prefer pencil and paper over the digital options. I will play with the Vector art to maybe come up with a digital art lesson.
