Ipad Value Study

Using the Layers Pro app on the iPad and using oil pastels in class to create my value study had many similarities and differences.  Many of the differences had to do with the fact that the iPad was easier and not as messy to use.  I used a stylus for the iPad which made drawing a lot easier. The Layers Pro app allowed me to add layers to my drawing, which made any mistakes I made easy to fix. Using the oil pastels was very messy and took more time. The similarities between the iPad and oil pastels was that it was difficult to blend each colors together to make the shape look 3-dimensional. Through this experience, I learned that technology does make drawing value and blending easy, less messy, and fast. Technology is useful and important in art because it allows people to explore new ideas and try different ways to produce different types of art.
