Art Resources

I was having a great chat with some art teachers about resources for art using technology. Here is a synopsis.

People to Follow on Twitter that share Art Projects:

There are several really talented art teachers that use technology and they share much of their work on Twitter. Here are some great people to follow:

A great way to organize people to follow on Twitter is to make a Twitter list like this. Then when you find new people it is easy to add- and people can subscribe to your list and follow. https://twitter.com/DrTerriC/lists/art-resources-on-twitter/members

Apple Education - Everyone Can Create

Apple has published a series as part of their Everyone Can Create Series to encourage creativity with technology in schools. Check out this series for photography, art, music, and drawing. One of the things that is great is that they offer a teacher's guide as well to help you think about how to teach these ideas in K12 classrooms.
