We believe that coming together to tinker with ideas, draw, work on problems and create stories with others is a really fun and vital component of learning. When we get together with others in an open-ended, creative environment, we explore new ideas, new ways of thinking and problem-solving, naturally.
That's why we created Scoot & Doodle: live, face-to-face collaboration studios where friends and classmates easily get creative together.
With PhotoCard you can make dazzling, high resolution postcards on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, and send them on-the-spot, through e-mail or the US Postal Service. The app is amazingly easy to use. To create a PhotoCard, select one of Bill's nature photos or use one of your own personal photos. Then, flip the card over to type your message. For a fun touch, jazz up your PhotoCard with decorative stickers and stamps. If you're e-mailing your card, it can even include an audible greeting. When you've finished your creation, send it off to any e-mail or postal address in the world!
SEA-SAWS is a new interactive activity developed by the Gallery's education department. Young artists choose photographs of natural and man-made objects, then assemble the pieces to create a seascape or an abstract composition. A "build" option allows them to construct animated characters and set them in motion. This Art Zone program is fun for children of all ages. (Requires Shockwave)
