Art Goes Digital: iPads And Light Boxes for Young Creators!

Help me give my students the opportunity to create digital portfolios using iPads and light boxes. Portfolios are crucial tools for students to showcase their growth and development over time and share their creations with family and friends.

My Project

"Art is a place for children to learn to trust their ideas, themselves, and to explore what is possible."

Our fine arts magnet program would greatly benefit from access to iPads and photography light boxes.

iPads can provide the opportunity to use a variety of digital tools and software that foster creativity and skills such as navigating online galleries and producing digital artwork.

With these devices, students will not only be able to create digital portfolios that showcase their artwork and progress over time, but share their creations with family and friends worldwide. With programs such as Artsonia, students can photograph and organize their masterpieces, share their portfolio with a wider audience, and raise funds for future art supplies by creating keepsakes with their design.

In this technological age, it is pivotal for young learners to become familiar with the ever-growing digital world. Using iPads and light boxes , students will be able to work collaboratively in new ways, develop their critique skills, and feel a deeper sense of pride in their accomplishments. With your support our students will have the equipment needed to inspire creativity while developing their digital literacy.
