53 Art Education Apps for Ipads

According to some research I've been doing, the itunes app store has over 63,000 downloadable apps...and although they are not all art related, with so many choices, fishing for not just art apps, but quality educational ones can be an impossible task.  So instead of spending your summers 'fishing' here's a few apps to get you started:

Here's a list of art education apps I've gotten from IEAR, I.e.a.r. is short for i-education apps review: a website dedicated to using apps in an educational way. I've also posted some from The Teaching Palette (her blog: http://theteachingpalette.com/2009/08/03/30-best-iphone-apps-for-art-teachers/ ) All the apps listed art education related, so if you have the chance check them out, and even better than that, if you have access to ipads for your classroom, have your students check them out!
If you follow the link you will come to the site which has a full description for each app.  Some entries even have video or website links for that gives ideas or examples of their uses in classrooms.

Just on a side note: some of these have a 'lite' or free versions listed, however some may be purchase only. Many times the 'lite' versions offer very limited options for the apps, so its really about finding apps that work for your students and your curriculum.  
Happy fishing! :)

Do you know of an app that allows middle school students to download educreation lessons onto their ipad? Our school blocks apps for those that are for 18+ audiences so I need something for younger audiences. They need something to download it to so that they can't use the excuse of no internet! Thanks for any ideas.

Arts are advocating on a federal level for the arts and arts education, there are still young people in this country who are deprived of participating in the arts throughout the school year.
