After school today I delivered some training that introduced ArtRage 2 a paint application from Ambient Design, a New Zealand based software company. The intuitive nature of the software made it a real hit with my colleagues.
Most importantly as a teacher you can clearly demonstrate mixing of colour with paints. The virtual paint behaves just as paint does (but without the mess) I did make a point of explaining that there is obviously a place for using the real thing when demonstrating to a small group or to younger children. I used a large clean paint brush on the SMARTBoard instead of my finger during the training which is a nice little touch.
Well worth a look. ArtRage2
Yes Artrage is a very popular painting tool in Tasmania (Australia). We contacted the New Zealand distributor (Ambient) and they gave us a very good price for the software.
