Creativity

We hear about children developing creativity but how can IT help with art - other than through paint-fill colouring-in?

Getting children to be creative with a computer can be a challenge. One way is to offer the use of a drawing tablet.

A drawing tablet adds a new dimension to computing for kids who have a strong visual affinity, allowing them to draw, trace and sketch as normal. The drawing pad interprets their movements directly onto the computer screen as if they were using a pen or pencil.

The resulting child-produced computer graphics can be presented as on-screen artwork or printed off, and even incorporated into homework.

You can use a favourite drawing program (or the excellent software included in the great value pack described below - Corel Art Dabbler, Cadix Signature Verification, and Natural Pen Manager).

This innovative graphics tablet allows original drawing and painting effects to be included in student's work. Incorporating a cordless pen, it can also can digitally convert personal hand-writing to text. This is ideal for anyone keen to explore the graphics potential of computers, or who would find handwriting recognition a helpful learning aid.
