The World is Canvas: a coloring application for children based on physical interaction

Published: 09 June 2010 Publication History

Abstract

This paper focuses on the creativity of painting in artistic creativities and aims to increase children's motivation in painting. This research assumes that fun through physical interactions increases the motivation for children to paint. We developed two approaches and implemented an iPhone application "The World is Canvas". This application allows users to use any image as a draft for coloring. We conducted user evaluation tests to validate these approaches, and their effectiveness was proved.
