| Introducing Corel Painter X Curriculum Corel unveils new curriculum for its painting and illustration software - Corel Painter X. Authored by Stephanie Reese, an accredited high school art teacher who holds a BA in Curriculum Development and a Master's in Education, the new Corel Painter X curriculum is designed to make it easy for educators to integrate this next-generation digital art studio into high-school art and photography classes. The curriculum is divided into three units, each covering five 45-minute classes. Subject areas include: an introduction to the tools, paints and brushes in Corel Painter X; exploring composition with the new Divine Proportion tool; transforming photographs into paintings; and techniques for creating digital characters and painting line drawings. With Corel Painter, teachers are preparing their students for the future with the premiere professional painting software that is the standard for many of the top professional artists working today. The new Corel Painter X blurs the line between traditional and digital art like never before with the introduction of unparalleled performance, new composition tools and the revolutionary RealBristle Painting System that provides an organic painting and illustration experience – right down to the individual bristles on the brush. This latest version of Corel Painter delivers new features and tools that were designed to make it easier than ever to integrate this powerful software into traditional art education. With the new Workspace Manager, teachers can now quickly create and install custom environments that can be specialized by class and study area like watercolor painting or line drawing. Corel Painter X also offers the new Divine Proportion Composition tool, an ideal aid for teaching art theory and the compositional secrets of the Great Masters. Corel Painter X, unveiled by Corel earlier this week, is now available for pre-order and will be available to education customers through Corel's education licensing program later this month. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
