Have you ever wanted to get creative with your photos or have your students create their own digital art? Here are some fun free options for creating and manipulating images online:
1) www.gimp.org
This is a great alternative to the expensive photoshop. It has many tools that are the same as Photoshop and has all of the basic tools your students would need to create beautiful images. There are some advanced features that Photoshop has that Gimp does not , however for student use, it's actually probably more than what they would need. I just bought Photoshop two months ago and had I known about Gimp, I might have held off!!
2) Artweaver
This downloadable program allows you to make art using all sorts of mediums and tools online. I like this for one big reason.. more than one person can work on the SAME piece of art at the same time!! I know this sounds challenging, but what an exercise for the students to have to work together, plan an execute something creative. I think it could be really cool!
3) Pic collage app
This app is something I have used a lot in French. I have it on my phone, but we also have it on the school tablets. It is an app that allows you to make collages of pictures and then add text and embellishments. I have had students use it to create French poetry, to create presentation visuals and also as a way to have them just write in French to describe a picture. They love it because it is SO easy to use!
I hope these options help you and your students get creative!
