App-Attack! STEP BY STEP (and art apps list) from a drawing by a Year 6 student
comment : 2
See the creative process in living colour! Check out this gallery to watch this Year 6 drawing, created as part of a ‘Mythical Monsters’ unit, transform into spectacular experimental abstractions and more. Using workflows, students grapple with the creative process and explore the endless possibilities of art making. Using the iPad in this ‘hands-on’ and organic way is engaging and confidence building. There are no mistakes during production, as changes can be easily made. Students are free to create!
These kinds of activities are also a wonderful introduction to abstraction – through the process of construction and deconstruction students manipulate the elements of art and can be empowered to abandon subject matter.

I wonder if using an app like this could produce an animation of this image changing from one app to the next in a morph. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/face-morphing-video/id547562318?mt=8
You are one step ahead! There is a post on this coming soon. I like Morpho for those ‘talking head’ creations…I use them in these kinds of activities to present reflections on the process in an engaging way. It’s great to hear the monster himself explaining the processes that changed him from a representational image into an abstraction!
