This computer based art program is simple for anyone to use, just point and click to play a movie lesson or to view lesson related artwork! The instructions are presented by art education specialist Lydia-Kay Blackburn to the students via a movie format. The teacher, paraprofessional, parent or after-school instructor plays the lesson, then distributes the materials and oversees and encourages the children as they do their work. Any portion of the movie can easily be replayed. This program is Mac and PC compatible.

The Arttango interface can be projected onto a Smart Board, which utilizes touch screen technology.
The interactive touch screen technology of Smart Technologies, Inc. Smart Board makes for a perfect match with the Arttango Art Education Program. The Arttango interface is projected onto the Smart Board using an LCD projector and a computer running the art program. You have complete control over the art lessons by touching the clickable areas on the screen. Get more information on Smart Boards: http://www.smarttech.com/

Level 1 of Arttango is primarily designed for elementary schools that do not have art teachers or for the school that has more students then the art teacher can adequately teach.
Because of the overwhelming responsibilities of an elementary school teacher, we felt that an art program could be neglected and left to chance. Our program eliminates that possibility by presenting to the students one lesson and project each week for the entire school year. Objectives for each lesson are correlated to other areas of the curriculum, making it easy for the classroom teacher to integrate the lessons.
