iLuv Drawing Apps Foster Interest in Art Through New Tech
Sometimes the wish from your loved ones is your inspiration. The new iLuv Drawing apps are developed by a mother whose own daughter wanted an app that would teach her how to draw.
The iLuv Drawing apps specialize in education for, and retention by, children. They provide step-by-step programs with a user friendly and kid capable interface, as well as a child soothing voice for instructions. Children, and adults if they are also interested, can learn to draw various people and playful animals right on their touch screen in a few easy and memorable steps.
The drawing procedures are really easy to follow. Take iLuv Drawing Dinosaurs for example, once the user has chosen one dinosaur from 11 of them on the home page that he/she wants to learn, the app will start showing lines and curves step-by-step for tracing.
The iLuv Drawing apps promote artistic and creative skills in addition to right brain thinking that will benefit the child in future learning environments. By teaching kids how to draw animals, monsters and dinosaurs on their parent’siPad or iPhone, the apps lay the basic building blocks of a drawing and assists in learning how to follow simple directions. iLuv also teaches fine motor skills for younger audiences.
Instead of spending money on the one-time "How to Draw" books, the iLuv Drawing apps take advantage of digital devices to provide more environmental-friendly and creative platform to inspire children's creativity. The apps is available for download on iTunes Store.
