Sumit Vishwakarma
Sumit Vishwakarma is a big advocate of "Mobile Art" - the newest medium of creating art on the iPads, tablets and smart mobile phones. The touchscreen in today's smart devices provides a great opportunity for creativity. You can sketch/draw/paint and create professional quality art and illustration on your tablets by just using few $5 apps.
Not only Art but these devices can let one create simple to advance animations without needing any software programming knowledge. With smart devices creativity is in your fingertips.
Sumit has been instrumental in promoting this medium of creativity for last 3 years. He believes “iPad is not just for consumption but for creation! " Today, iPad/tablets are at the forefront of becoming the most innovative and dynamic tool in education. We see kids using iPad everywhere: in homes, schools, restaurants to watch videos, play games and for social media. All these are consumption use of iPad, but he feels that iPad can be innovatively used to explore creativity. It can enable students to create and share digital content and media focusing on art and cross-curricular learning. Students can explore drawing and painting, digital photography, digital storytelling, animation, graphic design etc.
His goal is to educate kids, teens and adults about simple digital techniques that can be applied with traditional painting skills to create beautiful artwork on tablets. With this aspiration he works with public libraries and local organizations to conduct free tablet-Art workshops.
He was featured speaker at Macworld 2013 'tech-talk' and featured artist at Macworld sketch-station in 2012. His work has been showcased in several art galleries including the first Mobile Art Festival in Los Angles, Apple flagship store in San Francisco, Mobile Creativity & Innovation Symposium - NZ, Autodesk Sketchbook news, Macworld Digital Art gallery, iCreate magazine and other tech and art blogs including the popular "cult_of_mac",TUAW, Digital Journal etc. He also had winning entry at Macworld's ipad Art contest.
