Computing with Kids with Jinny Gudmundsen

"This new version of the award-winning Kid Pix art series is a masterpiece of art creativity software. Kid Pix Deluxe 3 allows children to create art at their computers, save it, send it to friends and family over the Internet, and even place it into a streaming video slide show."

"The “paint brush” icon leads to brushes, spray cans, or the favorite of kid-testers: “Sound Art.” By using the Sound Art option, kids can “paint” by using their voice instead of the computer mouse. Kid-testers had a riot singing, shouting, whispering, and laughing into a microphone (provided) to see what effects their sounds would produce on the canvas. This is a captivating new way to approach creating art on the computer."

"While there were a few quirks relating to the inability to change your mind while creating, overall this software creates an exciting and inviting environment in which to explore art."
