I thank @BethRitterGuth for putting up the link to this article on Twitter this morning: The Amazing things you can build with a $25 computer. The Raspberry Pi chip was designed by the University of Cambridge with the express intention of allowing people to develop their technological creativity and ideas. The Raspberry is a bit of a cult/fan thing at the moment and has indeed inspired some different ideas like the BeetBox or the Lego custom case. Classic example of giving people a box of bits and seeing what they come up with.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a serious student of art , whether you want to find out about art, whether you just like to know about art and artists, then Daily Art is the app which will bring some joy to your life. It’s free. It brings you an art piece a day, explains about it, puts it in context for you and then gives you links to other online resources to follow it up if you wish. it is well thought out and well designed. It demonstrates have i-devices can be used to enhance your life as well as your knowledge. Not everyone can get to the gallery. Not everyone can make that exhibition. It doesn’t replace those experiences but it does a good job of sharing the world of art with people.
