Description
Students use the 'KidPix' application to create their artwork.While creating these works of art, the children became more proficient using the mouse and were introduced to drawing basic shapes.First, the children created a picture in art class with paper and glue using a combination of five shapes: circle, oval, square, rectangle and triangle. Then they used their mouse, computer drawing, and visual perception skills to create an identical version of the picture using KidPix.
