As I’ve written here before, I quite enjoy opportunities to create visually appealing pieces on digital canvas. This evening I’ve had a great deal of fun exploring another online application that offers opportunity for creative expression with digital tools.
Bomomo is not easy to describe. You start with a blank canvas, then choose a tool and set it in motion. There is some control over the trajectory of what is drawn, and the degree of control definitely increases with experience. The tool can be started, stopped and restarted as many times as the “artist” wishes; and you can use as many tools as you like.
Art work created with Bomomo can be saved to your computer as either a jpg file or higher quality .png file. Bomomo is a delightful option for any “artist” who, like me, has limited aptitude or ability with traditional media. Below are some examples of what I’ve just made with Bomomo.

I checked the site out, and it is really incredible. I have two students who love the painting softwares because of the cause/effect aspects with the mouse on the paper. This is especially fun because it is so dynamic and fluid rather than the choppy stop-and-go tools of the typical free painting software.
I will definitely introduce this to my students.
I also think that I will be accessing it myself for those 1-5 minute break periods when I’m near braindead and Sudoku will take too much thinking!
Thanks for the resource!
