hAPPy Friday!
One of the most beloved ipad Apps in the Art room by teacher and students alike is the ipottery app.
I introduced this app last year to students for a Greek history lesson. We watched a Greek artist throw pottery on a wheel . Then I gave student to chance to digitally create their own pottery. It walks students threw the whole pottery process, with out the mess! This app has some magic power that instantly soothes students by the classroom! I think its the soothing bird sounds that softly play in the background.
You can get the app for free and it has an available upgrade. I currently have a the free app.
Its also available for most phone and tablet devices.

A good read in the Art & Science room!
Allowing students to explore the science behind color that they can see is fun and interactive with Exploratoriums free iPad app Color Uncovered.
I allowed students to explore this app on their own. They quickly became consumed by the e-book's experiments that allow students to see the with their own eyes the power of color. After students read the eBook they answered a couple of opened questions on Edmodo.
You will need a cd case, white index cards and some drops of water available. I was a little worried about letting water get anywhere near the ipads, but it was well worth it! I had a small dish of water and let students dip their finger into the water and put a drop on their screen. Then students could easily use a tissue or their sleeve to soak up the drop of water. When I have free apps this app is still a regularly visited.
