Art isn’t just about paper and paints, in this day and age we mustn’t neglect that newest of art forms – digital art. It’ll be interesting to see whether the arrival of the computer in the late 20th century turns out to have a similar effect as that of the arrival of photography on artists in the 19th century. Then, arguably, it helped to kick-start the arrival of abstract art – after all, who could compete with a camera when it came to representation. Artists had to paint something else, something that a camera, concerned only with surface reality, could not achieve – inner truths, emotions, etc. Even in representational art it encouraged new ways of seeing, new ways of composing a picture. There can be a somewhat snobbish attitude to digital art, an attitude that takes it less seriously, and regards it as somehow less skilful, than ‘real’ art. Certainly it throws up new challenges, new potential, new issues to explore – for example where does the role of the artist and that of the computer start and finish? There are also issues of long-term preservation, and of copyright, and then there are the artists who are exploring and blurring the boundaries between the more traditional techniques of fine art, and those of digital art…. Encouraging children to try out and experiment with this newest of art forms can expand their creative horizons, and help develop their computer skills. The internet is a vast place, continuously growing at a rapid pace, and there is lots out there to help children develop their digital creativity. So I have put together a select list of some of the best that I’ve come across so far: Digital Colouring There is no shortage of sites that allow you to colour in an image digitally, and because I’m sure you’ll have come across them, I’m not going to list any here. They are great for young kids, as they get a pleasing result very easily, and can then be printed off. They may need a little help to get the hang of what to do, but it’s great hand-eye co-ordination practice, and gets them familiar with using a computer mouse. However, in addition to the onscreen colouring, there are also some sites which allow you to create your own ‘customised’ colouring sheets, by combining a variety of motifs and backgrounds as you see fit: http://www.crayola.com includes this as one of the elements on its site, which also includes lots of ideas for art and craft activities. http://www.haringkids.com – If you like Keith Haring’s artwork, his website also has a section where you can create and digitally colour your own colouring sheet in the style of his artwork. This one is great for young and old alike. Digital Drawing & Painting Beyond digital colouring, the next stage is digital drawing and painting, where you create a composition of your own. It can be tricky to control the mouse for this kind of drawing (it’s much easier if you use a digital drawing tablet) but it’s fine for playing about with abstract scribbles or simple drawings. However some sites will also allow you to create compositions using drag and drop and a range of motifs that you can combine or customise at will. http://www.tate.org.uk/kidsOne of the most entertaining elements of this site is an interactive facility to create your own street art on an empty brick wall – great fun for budding Banksys. It also includes a number of other artistic games, with added art history education along the way, and the ability to create your own gallery choosing favourite works from the Tate collection, or allowing children to upload their own work to share with the world. http://www.artisancam.org.uk This site is well worth a visit – it’s not intended just for kids, but it includes a whole range of art and craft activities. There are games to create your own pop art and cartoon art, a children’s book to create, and lots of other entertaining online creative activities. http://www.kerpoof.com– owned and operated by Disney, this site has a number of online drawing tools, including the ability to create your own animated movie, and create your own story book which you can print out. In addition to these there are quite a few online drawing applications, of varying characteristics and levels of sosphistication: http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/ Create a simple scribble, and then sit back and watch it ‘develop’ further – it’s quite entertaining to see what’s created from your original scribble. http://artpad.art.com I liked this one, because it’s very simple, and allows you to splash paint around with a bucket as well as using a brush. At the end you can ‘frame’ it and post it to the online gallery to share with the world. http://www.canvastic.net Another simple online drawing tool. http://bomomo.com – Digital drawing with a difference. Not particularly aimed at kids, you can have lots of fun creating semi-random compositions with a variety of digital tools. You can also save the finished result onto your computer.

This was a super fun project my Grades 4- 6 mixed elective class did at the end of this school year. They LOVED this project- some even made 2 or 3. I pretty much followed the excellent instructions posted HERE on the "We Heart Art" blog. She found the idea on the Fine Lines blog. I was worried we would have to use that chunky yarn (of which I had none) but regular yarn worked well. I collect empty cereal boxes from my students all year long and stockpile them for projects such as these. Students drew some type of abstract pattern on the card. I encouraged them to use shapes as opposed to open lines as we would be colouring these in. Of course some did non-abstract images and some used some open lines and they all worked out regardless :) Once the lines were drawn, students passed over the lines using regular white glue. Then they put pieces of yarn on top. We let these dry overnight. It's important to use heavy duty aluminium foil for this next step. It's just sturdier and thicker. Students cut a piece off the roll that was about an inch larger than their cardboard. Then they covered the back of the tin foil liberally with a glue stick. They need to use ALOT and do it carefully in one direction so the foil doesn't bunch up and rip. Other blogs used spray glue for this step but I didn't have any- the glue stick worked pretty well. Then put the foil over-top and, starting from the center, gently rub over the design using a small square of felt. It really works for buffing the foil over the yarn. Take your time with this step- the more you carefully rub around the yarn, the better the final artwork will work. Some students tended to rush this step. Once it's all glued down, I show students how to neatly wrap the foil onto the back- a technique I used during my book-making phase ;) Then the fun part: colouring the whole image with coloured Sharpies! Don't colour the raised yarn part. Here are Grades 4 - 6 results: This students did 2: one using cool colours and one using warm colours

6th grade student with his art pieces; he holds the original printing plate turned into an aluminum foil relief sculpture and one of his prints on watercolor paper. 6th graders recently completed a printmaking unit, involving many stages of production. First, we learned about Japanese artist and printmaker Hokusai, who created the famous print, The Great Wave At Kanagawa: Hokusai, The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, 1830 We also learned about other printmakers from art history, such as Albrecht Durer, M.C. Escher, and Rembrandt. Students watched Youtube videos about these artists to see examples of fine art printmaking and to learn the difference between intaglio and relief prints. Click on this link to see a listing of the videos. Then, students thought of a design fitting with the theme of "nature," brainstorming several ideas before settling on a good one to use for their prints. They used a resource picture as a drawing reference and carefully drew the image onto a piece of cardboard. Then, we used school glue to outline all the pencil lines. This took several days because we added up to 3 layers of glue. There needed to be a raised line of dried glue on the cardboard to take ink later on. Finally, after days of glue application, we began printing. Students used brayers to roll ink onto their printing plates, paying close attention to applying an even layer of ink. It took practice to get just the right amount of ink on the plate and spend the right amount of time printing. When we were finished printing our limited edition of fine art prints and experimenting with colored papers, students used aluminum foil to transform the inky printing plates into a relief sculpture! We had fun embellishing the pieces with metallic markers, and some students used markers to hand color their prints. I am proud of their work! These are lovely images, and we can use our work to bring beauty into the world by sharing with others! Students will turn at least one of their prints into a greeting card, and will be encouraged to give some away to friends and family. One of our super powers as artists is to find and create beauty and then share it with others! student shows off his print and aluminum relief sculpture made from the printing plate student shows off her print and aluminum relief sculpture made from the printing plate here is a series of prints along with the glue-line cardboard printing plate aluminum foil relief sculpture made from the glue-line printing plate aluminum foil relief sculpture made from the glue-line printing plate aluminum foil relief sculpture made from the glue-line printing plate “From the age of 6 I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was 50 I had published a universe of designs. But all I have done before the the age of 70 is not worth bothering with. At 75 I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am 80 you will see real progress. At 90 I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At 100, I shall be a marvelous artist. At 110, everything I create; a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. To all of you who are going to live as long as I do, I promise to keep my word. I am writing this in my old age. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign my self 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing.” Hokusai
