Line Art and Tesla Toy

YES...all of my apps today relate to art class. I have been working with an art teacher at my school and since we found these apps...I thought I would share. Both Line Art and Tesla Toy are neat apps but Line Art is $1.99 and Tesla Toy is Free. In my opinion...Tesla Toy is the better out of the two. The apps have little moving electric worms swimming on the screen...but when your finger or fingers touch the screen...they are all attracted to your finger. Depending on where you touch and with how many finger...your design changes. Tesla Toy took Line Art ever further. It adds more designs and even more colors. They remind me of the static balls that you would touch and the lines would all come towards you hand. Because Tesla Toy is fairly new...I was not able to post a picture of that app.

Glow Doodle

With this app, you area able to draw neat pictures but by clicking the "glow" button...it will light them up as if they glow. This app is $0.99 but if your kids enjoy drawing...it is well worth it.

Art Of Glow

Art of Glow is a FREE app which lets your creative side show. As you draw your pictures...your lines will continue to keep your picture moving even when you are done drawing. You can modify your drawing options using the tools in the bottom right hand corner.

Brain POP Featured Movie

Many teachers use www.brainpop.com with their students in the classroom. This FREE app is similiar.

"The BrainPOP Featured Movie app delivers fresh, animated movies every day, with content relevant to significant historical and current events such as Earth Awareness andFinancial Literacy topics in April. After watching the Featured Movie, students can test their new knowledge with the accompanying interactive quiz. We think the app is a whole lot of fun, with a beautiful design. "

Words with Friends

If you enjoy Scrabble...then this is for you. This game comes as a free app or for $0.99. I am sure you probably get more features if you purchase the app. A co-worker had said that the Packers even play this against each other in the locker room.

Halloween Sound Shelf

There are two apps for this. I have used the free Halloween Shelf which has a lot of different sounds to scare the neighbors with. My kids handed out candy this year and would use the spooky sounds as background noise.

Fire HD

Need to relax, create the moment...then this app is for you. For $0.99, this app gives you a candle movie, 3 fire place movies and a fireworks movie. It also includes some music along with the app. One downfall people have brought up...is the fact that you can't use your own music.
