By using the picture as the top layer, and lowering transparency levels, the image will always stay whilst they draw acting like tracing paper. They could also set it as the bottom layer and draw on top of it. ]]> 2016-12-16 13:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144045361 Background and Foreground money95 https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144046666 The teaching of these concepts can be supported through the use of layers. A child can create a background in the same way they would paint or draw normally, painting the thing furthest away. After they can then draw the closest things on a separate layer for the foreground. This supports traditional painting too, where the same rules apply]]> 2016-12-16 14:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144046666 Recording their work, as they work. money95 https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144047512 Some apps and software allow you to play a recording of the piece as you created it. This provides unique opportunities for children to go back and critique not only their work, but also their methods. This would also allow them to see the progress they made, both from previous learning and in the lesson/activity itself.]]> 2016-12-16 14:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144047512 Observational drawing money95 https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144048347 Mobile technology allows children to also undertake digital drawings outside the classroom. Through which they have access to a wider range of tools on the go, rather than carrying a tray of equipment. ]]> 2016-12-16 14:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144048347 Symmetry money95 https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144048937 Some apps include symmetry lines, where a mark will be replicated in the other half or quadrant of the page, symmetrical to the one just made. This also provides opportunities to support maths work. ]]> 2016-12-16 14:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/money95/miyysu6ojxvl/wish/144048937
