Expressive arts and design

The use of painting and graphics applications can further develop pupils’ keyboard and mouse skills, whilst a range of tablet based apps are also available, such as the free Doodle Buddy.

Creative outcomes can be produced, which allows pupils to take ownership of their work and could even be part of an extended project. Outputs produced could be linked to other uses of technology, such as producing mats for Bee Beets to travel around, whilst other physical computing devices, such as Spheros, can even be put into paint and controlled using a tablet device to produce images. Outfits for a device to wear, such as Bee Bot head dresses or Sphero paper cup people, could also be developed in our role play areas.
