INNOVATIVE TEACHING: USING IPADS IN ART COURSES

Students making art with iPads

James Oliver’s Drawing III classroom at Pittsburg State University looks much like one would expect a college art classroom to look. There are paint-spattered easels, life forms, and a wide array of traditional art supplies. But the students in this drawing class use almost none of those.
