Paint incredible pictures with simple mouse strokes. Try 3 projects to
build confidence. Adapt software to accommodate diverse student needs. Bring
your creativity! Software giveaways.
If you can use a mouse, you have all the skills necessary to paint
incredible pictures and backgrounds on the computer. Experience firsthand how
artwork can be a great confidence builder. Using Fresco we’ll see how an art
package can simulate real art medium. Watercolors blend transparently, paint
runs out on your brush, and pastels smudge with the slightest touch. We’ll
discuss and explore strategies for teaching in an inclusion classroom. There
are 5 built-in levels so that educators can transparently accommodate diverse
student needs, without the often felt stigma attached to assistive technology.
With Tool Factory Painter we’ll draw pictures using shapes and stamps, plus a
myriad of effects and filters. Both programs can be adapted for special
education students working a variety of ability levels. Art teachers and art
enthusiasts alike will enjoy experimenting with two different art programs. Bring
your creativity! Attendees get to software giveaways, plus a subscription to
www.elementaryzone.com.
