Art time: Mona Lisa

louvre

La Gioconda, which is also called the Mona Lisa, is the most famous painting in the world. Each year, millions of visitors throng to see the painting in one of the Louvre Museum’s largest exhibition rooms. Her name and image have been reproduced on every continent on coffee cups and T-shirts, in adverts and films, on the Internet, and on the facades of restaurants and beauty salons. Wherever we are and whatever we are doing-whether we are on a street corner, opening a magazine, or turning on the television-, La Gioconda’s smile is omnipresent.

From the book What’s so special about Mona Lisa? By Delieuvin V. & Tallec O.

What would Mina Lisa tell us herself about her exciting life if we could just hear her famous painting in the Louvre Museum?

What is ChatterPix?

ChatterPix is an app that converts pictures of inanimate objects into pictures that talk! All you do is snap a picture, draw a line to make it talk, and record your voice! ChatterPix can be used to make silly greetings, playful messages, and creative cards. In the classroom, ChatterPix can be used as a way for students to take pictures of their work and record information about it! A student’s ChatterPix can be emailed, sent to YouTube, or saved on a device. Teachers can have students save their ChatterPix creations in the camera roll on an iPad to review later.

Here is a guide of how to use it:
