PaintArt - An Interactive Computer Software for Education of Visual Arts

In this paper a computer software consisting of a paint program and a database of specially prepared forms in bitmap format for education of visual arts on the elementary school level is presented. By using such computer software, a paint program (in graphic format) and forms in bitmap format, where it is possible not only to write text but also to draw lines, circles etc., interactive learning gets a new dimension, . From now on it is possible not only to ask questions in the form of yes or no, multiple choice or demand answers in full-text, but really to apply the solutions. If the lesson is about composition in painting, it is possible to show a painting of a well known artist and not only ask which form of composition is predominant in the painting, but to demand that the pupil draws the chosen composition (e.g. horizontal, diagonal, pyramidal etc.) as a line in the painting itself. By presenting this software in the class and by sharing it, pupils can use it at home and by comparing own answers with the provided solutions in the software they can verify their knowledge of the topicsdiscussed at school.
