As an additional activity, I like the idea of students creating their abstract masterpiece and then writing a summary paragraph interpreting their work.

Psykopaint (Grades 6-12) Now your students can take on the role of an Impressionist through the use of the digital photography painting tool.

SculptGL 3D Sculpting tool with the option to export files for 3D prinitng.

It seems to work best with just a short word or phrase, but with a few clicks of a generate button, a cool image can be created. Ultimate Flash Face (Grades 5-12) This is a portrait creation tool that does allow students to control the width and height of each facial feature. I’m not sure I would encourage students to save the image on the website, but it could be printed easily. Virtual Lite-Brite (Grades K-12) Bring back those days of yesteryear and create your own virtual Lite-Brite mosaic. A print screen will be required to save the image. Voki- You can’t create much of a story with Voki, but you can create an animated speaking avatar. Weavesilk- Create symmetrical designs that look like they are glowing! Wordle (Grades 3-12) Word art at its finest is created here. I really prefer the flexibility of this program over other word art tools, but it desperately needs an option to download the completed products rather than doing a screen shot. Yourstudio (Grades K-12) This is another virtual canvas, but it does offer some unique features. Here you can paint on wood or stone and use an ice cream cone as your brush. How fun is that? Zimmer Twins Remember those choose your-own-adventure novels? This animation site applies the same concept to short cartoons. Zoopz (Grades K-5) There are a couple of art tools available here including one that creates mosaics. They are fairly basic, but would be good for younger students.
