First explorations

Received my new iPad and began checking to see how it might do some of the things I imagined I'd be able to do with it in my classroom. I used the camera to photograph student artwork and explored the simple but effective image editing tools built into the "Photos" app. I can easily crop and straighten an artwork. I can also do some work to enhance the colors and exposure of a photo.

I loaded some apps that were recommended as art  creation  apps. That allow for drawing and painting images and on existing images. PhotoShop Express, Procreate, Draw Pad, SketchBookX, Inspire Pro and Art Studio. Will have to experiment with them all to get to know them better, but on first glance Art Studio seems the most powerful.
