The iPad Art Movement

The iPad is promoted as a "revolutionary" mobile computing device...but here's an article that discusses how it is being used to create art.

"Artist David Kassan, along with an emerging community of iPad artists,  have put iPad art on the map by using its easy-to-overlook finger painting or “brushes” app. While the vast majority of iPad users may see the app as a simple freehand paint program, artists like Kassan have taken to utilizing the app as a virtual, completely mobile art station. Much like the portable art easels, the iPad can very simply be positioned on a tripod and painted on using the fingers just like a small canvas. And with the various textures available to the app, artists can use a variety of mixed medium techniques to create incredibly life-like, realistic works of art."
