Free Resources from the Net for (Special) Education

Thanks to Pat Hensley at Successful Teaching I’ve just discovered another wonderful online art application.  So here goes an addition to the “Art Series” that I’ve been interspersing in my blog posts over the past month or so.  Until today, my “series” has only included posts about Mutapic and Pencil. These join pre-series posts on Viscosity, Online Etch A Sketch, The Art Zone, etc.  The internet offers a rich variety of tools and formats for creating and sharing art! 

Myoats is an online application with a set of tools that anyone can use to create striking visual images.  The potential is tremendous, as illustrated by the three scaled down examples of art work created on myoats over just the past couple of days.

I’m not enough of an expert to do justice to describing the extensive range of creativity tools offered by myoats, so you’ll need to check them out for yourself.  The site offers clear explanations of how to create with myoats, including 3 excellent video tutorials.  Myoats has made it convenient for you to save and download your art.  You can go back and revise your work with a “Save As” option. Myoats has also established a community for artists to share and enjoy each others’ work.
