Using more slides and a faster image rate would make the animation smoother- BUT this is a simple example of what could be done to create a learning object.Here's what the final product (saved as a Quicktime movie) will look like. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=721678 'This stunningly beautiful app is like having a virtual art set right inside your iPad.

Illustrations and cross-sections give readers examples of human skeletal and muscular substructures and details of individual body parts, to enable the most precise visual recreation of human form and motion.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=596440 This is a lesson plan intended for use in an elementary art classroom with fourth grade students. The content of the lesson focuses on how artists can use line to create the appearance of action or movement in a work of art.The lesson calls for the use of a Power Point Presentation with slides of various famous, and perhaps not so famous, works of art that are selected for their linear qualities as well as how they show movement. Suggested artists: Wassilly Kandinsky, Frank Lobdell, Vincent Van Gogh.After viewing the presentation, the students will apply what they've learned by creating a non-objective/abstract water color painting that shows movement. It is highly recomended that the instructor take digital photographs of any completed student work and include them in the initial Power Point presentation. If this lesson is used again with another class or perhaps with the same grade level during a future school year, the students will have the benefit of seeing some sample student work in addition to the works by famous artists. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=721644 'Autodesk SketchBook® Express for iPad is a fun and intuitive drawing application.

Explore a packed toolbox of intuitive, natural painting tools like oils and watercolors that let you experiment with color blends and textures on a realistic canvas. ArtRage places the tools of a real art studio at your fingertips.ArtRage doesn't just place color on your canvas. It keeps track of how much paint there is and how wet it is, so you can blend color under the brush as you paint, or lay down thick lines of pigment for smearing with the Palette Knife just like the real thing. Watercolors react to the wetness of the brush and paper, to create hard edged strokes or blend to soft gradients. Canvas grain affects the paint, and dry pigments break up on the surface to create textures. It's not just a special effect, it's a live simulation of the properties of real paint.Main Features:Real world painting tools include Oils, Watercolor, Paint Rollers, Pencils, Crayons and more. Each tool has a range of settings that reflect familiar properties such as how much thinner is applied to the paint, or how soft a pencil tip is. Tools apply texture as well as color, and blend under the brush.Add Layers to your painting and work on individual elements without damaging others. ArtRage supports a wide range of Layer Blend Modes, and layer contents can be scaled moved and rotated independently.Import photos, converting them to oil for smearing or as Reference Images pinned to the canvas as a visual guide. You can load photos as Tracing Images which are overlaid on the canvas, and have ArtRage select colors from them automatically as you paint.The interface has been designed specifically for the iPad, compacted to maximize your creative space without hiding away critical functions such as tool and color selection. As you paint, it gets out of the way so that you don’t have to stop and manually adjust panels. With support for Multi-Touch gestures, important shortcuts are available without needing any interface.Record your paintings! The ArtRage Script system lets you record strokes while you paint for playback in desktop versions of the product at higher resolution.Tools:- Oil Brush, Watercolor, Airbrush, Palette Knife, Paint Roller, Paint Tube, Inking Pen, Pencil, Marker Pen, Chalk, Crayon, Eraser, Flood Fill.Layers:- Unlimited layers, Photoshop standard blend modes, visibility and opacity controls. Scale, rotate, and position layer contents independently.Recording:- Record your paintings then play them back in a desktop version of ArtRage Studio or Studio Pro at higher resolution. Note: Studio does not support some palette knife features present in the iPad version.'This app costs $4.99 http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=557520 ״Mahmoud Farshchian (January 24, 1930-) is a world renowned master of Persian painting and miniatures.
