Finger painting for grownups can be found in Google docs drawing. Fun! Fun! I just created an award winning picture, but unfortunately I haven't figured out how to upload it to the blog. Anyway, I'll just give you a visual. First I inserted an image of hydrangeas by searching Google images. Next, I used the scribble pen to do just that all around the border. Lastly, I added a splash of color and inserted text (my initials) and ta-da! An award winning drawing! I watched a tutorial and noted there was a chat feature in Drawing. I can see how this would be a usable feature when a class project in going on, but otherwise, not sure. This is a great way to enhance presentations and it's free!
I looked at a Language Arts lesson plan that required students to create a drawing and write a story with the assistance of an older "book buddy". This is a great lesson plan to for literacy, creativity, and partnership. Of course, there were certain guidelines about the drawings and criteria for the writing. The finished work was turned into a Google Presentation, or printed to create a book. Great project for first grade!
Good job! :-)
