Tell the student ahead of time that they are to "Take a Screenshot" of one of their art works from the CREATE TAB. They must do this when they are on the CREATE page. Otherwise, it will erase if they want to go back. (They may save it to the desktop and then print it out or simply save to their junk drive to save paper)

If printed, this will be signed and given to the teacher. Otherwise, the teacher will review their junk drive.

This is a wonderful independent study for art students. It can be also used as an effective remedial tool for art and literacy terms.

Time will vary per student.
