What are Pen Tablets?
A pen tablet, also known as a drawing tablet, is a device used by artists and designers to create digital art. It consists of a flat surface and a stylus, which is used to draw or write on surface. The stylus is pressure-sensitive, allowing for precise control over the thickness and opacity of the lines. Pen tablets are commonly used in digital art, graphic design, and photo editing.
How long will my kid be exposed to digital art?
We do not recommend exposing our little ones to more than 45 minutes screen time.
That is why we blend traditional with digital, we want to expose our little pixels to art techniques and styles.
Blending allows for a more holistic learning approach. The younger they are the less screen time it should be.
