Inspired by a fashion photo I saw for the model— the rest flowed intuitively, including the need to add a symbol. Found the Japanese character for Peace. I’ve been learning more about Procreate and did this in combination with another art app. The mobile app world is so interesting. There’s no perfect app that does it all. In combination though all is possible. #appsmashing #appalchemy https://www.instagram.com/p/COnrh6gJk5x/?igshid=14m1k8mtmntae

AppSmashing on the iPad to Foster Creativity

Are you familiar with "app-smashing," a technique coined and honed by Greg Kulowiec? http://kulowiectech.blogspot.com/2013/11/app-smashing-app-pack-x-thinglink.html It's also referred to as "app synergy." It's the "process of using multiple apps in conjunction with one another to complete a final task or project". The  possibilities of appsmashing are endless. Basically, you start with one app, Then use one or more apps to add more features. The key to App Smashing is the camera roll, as it enables you to store pictures, video and sound files which can then be accessed by other apps.  The emphasis is on "creating" and then "sharing" publicly what is created to YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

We love the concept of appsmashing as it provides endless opportunities for teachers and students to unleash their creativity while using the power of the iPad.  For a list of apps to use in app smashing, Greg Kulowiec created the app-pack list below which he says, "are the key tools that I use to create my multi-media app smashes."  The list includes the Green Screen http://bit.ly/1f3Sj20 by DoInk app.  The DoInk Animation and Drawing app http://bit.ly/1sh9DZj could also be used. So are you ready for some good old app-smashing? Let's rumble!
