Below are some Art APPs that are available for the iPad. Of course you can find many many more in the APP store but I've limited the list to ones I or other teachers (and students) have tried. Any time you choose a tool you need to think of the purpose of the task, your message, and who will be your audience. Choosing an Art APP is no different. I encourage you to visit the APP sites so you can see some samples (screen shots) and more detailed information on the Art 'tools' listed below.
DRAWING PAD - $1.99
Drawing Pad is a mobile art studio for all ages! Create your own art using photo-realistic crayons, markers, paint brushes, colored pencils, stickers, roller pens and more! Have found this APP very useful for creating illustrations for Book Creator.

ART SET - $0.99
This APP is both beautiful and realistic. It's like having an art set inside your iPad. Another APP that's great for all ages. It's fairly easy to use and gives amazing results. I believe it's a dollar VERY well spent.

ART RAGE - $4.99
Art Rage has plenty of tools and even allows the user to use layers. It's a bit more complex than previous APPs mentioned and I would recommend it for older students.
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.

BRUSHES 3 - FREE
An amazing and easy to use painting APP for all ages. Brushes3 not only allows you to create beautiful paintings with layers, it also allows you to record and replay your paintings. Teachers can view all the student's brush strokes and erasing that lead to the final product. I would say this is a must-have APP, especially since it's FREE!
