The Light Pad is an essential tool for drawing. For as long as I have been teaching we have resorted to leaning against windows to transfer images. The Light Pad allows for much more effective and efficient tracing. I have selected to have 4 in the classroom. That would allow me to set up a transfer station and allow multiple students to work and rotate. Young artists should have access to the best possible tools while learning. I am a firm believer that allowing students to explore industry tools they will receive a better understanding of the craft. These Light Pad are a great start!
