Ideas for the classroom
Individual students: Students could use brushes to create paintings. This could be used for illustrating a story, in art class, or for representing situations/scenarios
Small groups: Students could represent group problems in Math or science class, or collaborate on drawing tasks.
Whole class instructions: A teacher could demonstrate elements of design and/or art to students in a class. The painting process can be saved and students can refer to it at their leisure.
Tip: Brushes can get quite complex with layers, opacity, etc. Remind students to work at their level of complexity and ignore features that they do not need.
Caution: Brushes allows connections with flickr. Remember to discuss intellectual property, privacy and safety with students in relation to the use of multimedia in social networks.
