It's amazing what a few shapes can do!
Engage students’ creativity and build key skills with Shapegrams. These interactive drawing lessons feature graphic art tutorials and quick challenges that guide learners to recreate intricate images. As students follow along with tutorial videos and tackle Zipper challenges, they develop technology abilities, enhance digital illustration talents, and cultivate a growth mindset. The process of carefully observing and recreating visuals promotes spatial awareness, logical reasoning, critical thinking, and perseverance. With Shapegrams, digital drawing becomes an exciting way to foster digital literacy and a can-do spirit.
