Beach Cooler Games | We keep you cool, when development gets hot! 3D Nyan Cat!!!! ZooBurst. Comic Creator. The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading activities, response to literature, and so on). The organizers focus on the key elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds, characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue (shown at left).

This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment.

Animation/Cartoons. Oil Painting Technique - Alla Prima. Strive for this oil painting technique, direct painting or alla prima, if you are after a quick, fresh and spontaneous look in your paintings. I particularly like this technique and have stuck to it for many years. It feeds my instant gratification! Alla prima (also known as “direct painting” or “wet on wet” oil painting) is an Italian term which means “at first”. Using this technique, you complete entire paintings in one session or two without waiting for the paint layers to dry completely. Frans Hals, "Buffoon Playing A Lute" The alla prima oil painting technique was pioneered by Flemish painter Frans Hals (c.1582-1666). Before that, most oil painters used under-paintings for a consistent look. The Impressionist movement made extensive use of this oil painting technique and is responsible for much of its popularity. The charm of alla prima is that it retains the fresh and spontaneous feelings that come as you paint.

Direct painting is a deceptively simple oil painting technique. Alla Prima Brushstroke Exercise by Larry Seiler. Painting Tutorials. SHARKS and everything cool about them.
