Helps students explain and visualize plans for art projects before actually putting pen/pencil/paintbrush to paper!

How I Use It

With all large or long term projects, we start out with a plan, usually carried out on a piece of paper that I commonly refer to as their "sloppy copy". This is where they put down all their ideas to see what "sticks". How great it is to be able to put down every idea that pops into their minds, in a stream of consciousness kind of way, complete with color! It is instant gratification and gives them lots of options to choose from, maybe even to combine ideas. Understand, as an art teacher, I still believe in the use of real media(paint, graphite, cut paper, pen, etc.) to create student projects, but I value the technology that allows them to "try on" lots of ideas before settling on one!
