DESCRIPTION
A presentation by Kate Cosgrove for the DeFT regional Conference about children using iPads and social media in school
Citation preview
Bigger BloomMundella KS1 iPads painting project
Sheffield Children’s Festival
The room was a quiet space dedicated to the project
Children were shown how to use the Brushes app
Children used the colour wheel to choose their colours
The children created an outline of their flower first...
...then began to fill in the colour using a bigger brush
The final stage was to add highlights to the petals
Each artist signed their painting before putting it in the gallery
The children showed their parents how to use the iPads
Our parents enjoyed having a go on Brushes
The iPads are perfect for younger children too!
