iPad Art Crazy

I have to admit it. I didn't want to buy an iPad. Really and seriously. As of last June I was definitely going to wait to get one, until I went to a blogging conference here in Asheville,NC last June. All around me were iPads and everyone was on their iPad during the presentations tweeting and blogging about the speakers. Most tables I saw at watched me drooling all over their iPads and offered them to me to play with. Done Deal. I was sold. I HAD to have one by the end of the second day. On my way home I stopped at City Mac and took out my credit card. After the initial first two minutes I headed over iTunes to start downloading apps.

This particuliar app is one that does all the work for you but lets you make your own choices. It is fun to use and actually creates a finished file that printed beautifully at 8x10 size. With a mat and frame, no one would be able to tell this wasn't your own art!

Artree

The name of the app is Artree. It's so easy to use and fun to watch your "tree" grow!

Click on the app on your iPad and this is the easy opening screen. All controls are simple and easy to find.

I so love simplicity when it comes to the apps! Click on SETTING and you will see the next screen.

Choose your flower and make them larger or smaller. Choose your stems making them larger or smaller. Choose background colors. Pretty simple choices and each one has an illustration to show what it is changing.

Once the OK is clicked your painting will begin by itself and you can watch it grow.Once it is done, press the little daisy in the lower right side of the screen and saving options are presented.

You email the image to yourself and friends. Get your email and download the image and print, mat and frame. It's all so easy, so clean! You can make changes to the image and do triples with different color backgrounds and then frame them all together for beautiful easy art!

More apps reviews and news coming. I have some favorites!

One last note, if you want to learn about blogging and also come to Asheville,NC you might want to sign up for next years Type A Conference. It's in June and I can't even begin to explain how much I learned from everyone there. It was an incredible experience and I'll be back this year too!
