Ignite the creativity in every student.

Empowering every child to creatively express themselves nurtures not only communication skills but also confidence and helps with their development. Drawing encourages their mind to observe the world more closely and to consider how things are put together. It lets students articulate concepts that exist only in their imaginations, in ways words cannot.

    • Everyone Can Create

    Everyone Can Create gives students the tools to develop and communicate their ideas through drawing, music, video and photography with iPad. It gives teachers projects to bring creativity to every subject, and parents new ways to engage with their children and nurture skills for learning and beyond.

    • iPad self portrait competition

    Inspired by the Everyone Can Create resources, we launched our iPad self portrait competition that invited schools across the country to take part. Students were asked to submit drawings of themselves and we had an impressive 220 entries! These ranged from different age groups and styles, some preferring a realist approach whilst others more abstract.

    Congratulations Wickhambrook Primary School!

    • The iPad self portrait competition was designed to highlight how digital tools such as iPads can help teachers to engage pupils in new creative ways. Teachers taking advantage of the activities within Apple’s Everyone Can Create resources will provide stimulating and inspiring ideas for children to be creative, confident and engaged learners.

    With an overwhelming number of entries, it was a tough decision to make and we enjoyed the beautiful variety of all submissions. Congratulations to Wickhambrook Primary School for winning a box of Sphero robots to continue the theme of Everyone Can Create.

    • Well done Charlie!

    The winner is nine-year-old Charlie Arnold from Wickhambrook Primary School, who took his inspiration from Picasso’s early-20th-century avant-garde art work in the cubism movement that revolutionised self-portrait painting. Charlie had taken the notions from a physical art form and translated it into a digital self-portrait, showing not only creativity but also applied learning.

    Teacher Sophie Jolland from Wickhambrook who taught Charlie said the children loved using the iPad to be creative, and it made a nice change to more traditional pen and paper arts-based lessons. “The children were really inspired using the iPads to draw their portraits. I told them all just to be creative as they liked and everyone really came up with something unique and enjoyed the process.”
