D is for December/D is for Digital Art
In the 5/6 art room we’ve had a great week or so learning to create digital art on iPads. During a frenetic time in the world outside the room, this focused work has been cozy, calming, and generally pretty quiet. After introductory tutorials in person and provided as a reference in Google Classroom, the students […]
Rotoscoping? Wait. What?
Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over footage, frame by frame, for use in live-action and animated films.

You’ll […]

I have learned so much about mobile/digital art making, including which apps and stylus works best for me and the best subject matter to work with. I have discovered that I like direct painting […]
300+ Every Day Challenge Drawings
Wow! I can’t believe it. A drawing a day on my iPad for over 300 days…300! It doesn’t seem like that many, but the numbers don’t lie. I’m averaging an hour (more or less) on each drawing, so that’s 300 hours this year spent learning how to draw on an iPad. And I’ve learned so […]
