Confirmation Name Art - Digital Artwork on the iPad

Here is a great little project for confirmation classes that incorporates both ICT and art work.

Children investigated their chosen name.  I directed them with the following guidelines: 

1. Choose a name of a saint or a family member who is a good role model or important person in your life.
2. Write about the work of that saint, or why you admire the chosen individual.
3. Research the meaning of the name. 

4. Include any other interesting information you may have discovered in your research. 

We then used the 'Comic Life App'  on the iPad to create our posters. 

Children can be really creative here.  Import pictures, use speech bubbles and word art. 

There are also some preset themes which the children can avail of. 

Here are some of our works of art! 

It created a lovely bright colourful display which could be suitable for either display in school or the church.
