#Programs like psykopaint software#
I’d like to think that if I tried using the software again I would be more optimistic and I think the children would definitely be more determined and patient than myself.Īs I didn’t have much time left in the session to look at another program I decided to come home to explore some of the imaging resources available. I think to ensure productivity in both Key Stage 1 and 2 it may be more beneficial to work in small focus groups or even as part of an ICT club.
I could see how this would be an exciting project for primary school children to undertake and I think if approached appropriately then the positive results would speak for themselves. I think the possibilities of using animation in the classroom are endless, not only purely in ICT lessons but also when linked across the curriculum, the perfect example being story telling. I think it helped working in pairs though, promoting teamwork, as I could see myself getting even more irate if I had to work on this task alone. We both ended up getting a little frustrated with the tedious task of moving each object a minuscule amount to create the scene and began to lose our patience. I worked with Lucy on the animation and we created the short, simple video below. We were introduced to numerous imaging and animation software and I decided to focus on using a program called MonkeyJam for stop animation and then I moved onto Psykopaint to manipulate images and explore different art techniques and styles. We were focusing on image and animation and I was keen to get started. They bring smiles to my face and I hope that their experience in my classroom will enrich their education.I was really looking forward to this week’s ICT session after I had seen some of the other group’s creations. I love this school and this district and consider it an honor to work here with your children each and every day. I appreciate the opportunity to work with your child and I consider it my duty to build a love of art in my students, so that they may become educated participants as they encounter art each and every day of their lives. I utilize a variety of things to make our lessons engaging (props, stuffed artists, puppets, role-plays, etc.). Sometimes, art challenges expectations and thinking and I want to equip your child not to necessarily like all artwork, but to thoughtfully analyze what it could be and/or the artist intent.Įach time your child visits my room, we will meet a famous artist, view artwork, and use that as a starting point for our own art experiences. I want my students to be able to view an artwork and engage in a discussion about what it is and what the artist might be trying to say or show to a viewer. It is my goal to prepare your child to engage in and appreciate the rich world of art that he/she will encounter every day. My most important goal is to help your child LOVE art! In all honesty, I'm not Pablo Picasso and I will probably never be fortunate enough to teach the next Picasso, but your child will encounter art in the world every single day- whether in a museum, on TV, or even hanging on the wall of a restaurant.
