Apps on the iphone

A new addition to my handbag, the iphone, one of the free apps I down loaded was artlite it has a lagge gallery, profiles and a quiz. I dont think you can hook the iphone up to a projector but it does give you ideas for a lesson plan you can construct yourself. If anyone else has found any free apps that would benifit the art room please let tell me in your comment.

Raindrops

One of my students is doing a project on Raindrops, when it came to his 3d Piece we were all a bit stuck for ideas, so after a few conversations with my collegue, I went searching on the internet for raindrops.

Art in The Heart

One of the other talented art teachers in my school, became involved in a local art teachers group, this is thier first student exhibition Art in The Heart at the Axis Theatre Ballymun. As part of ‘Lift Ballymun Youth Arts Festival’ 2010, Using mixed media, print, collage and paint, the students used the heart as the central symbol to create the various pieces that combine to make this exhibition. Thanks too Freedom for the photos.

I have updates the Selotape Sculpture post with some of the work my students are doing, if you want to have a look.
