The students created a final presentation of the Adobe photoshop unit by designing an online virtual reality museum and then uploading their images inside it.
They used artsteps website. It is so good!

A teacher from 721K (or was it 721Q?) demonstrated how to use a flat panel interactive white board to make some lovely Calder-esque art!

Pour your acrylic paint into an ice tray with a popsicle stick in the middle. Freeze. Remove and paint. This is as cool as it sounds (no pun intended).

Put it all together and you get https://studio.code.org/. It is part of the whole coding-in-school endeavor. ANYWAYS, I went to the website (thanks for the heads-up, Lionel) and modified some kid’s existing project. The one I worked on was done in Scratch coding, which is this drag-and-drop block coding methodology.

When I press a “play” button, the code activates a little guy who draws a picture on the canvas. By changing the number of degrees the guy is supposed to turn (see last line of code), I was able to get some incredible designs.
See for yourself:
89 degrees (left square spiral)
91 degrees (right square spiral)
179 degrees (left line spiral)
181 degrees (right line spiral)
Here he is in action:
Try it yourself!
