Year Two children are learning to use a computer graphics package to create a picture; select the most appropriate tool to match their purposes when they paint on the computers.

They used 'Paintbrush' program to produce their pictures for different topics - my friends, halloween, chocolate pattern etc. The children learned to select and use simple tools (pen, fill, line, spray and text box etc.) in their picture making, and understood that work can be easily amended without spoiling earlier version by using 'Undo' or other tools.

Paintbrush (Mac version) can be download at: http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/downloads/
