A number of years again, I met an fascinating grad scholar who’d achieved work serving to autistic kids study utilizing computer systems and avatars. Their work was half of a bigger space of research which had concluded that autistic kids working with computerized avatars got here out of their shell faster than these working with precise lecturers. Okay so, that was fascinating.

We additionally know that every one up-walking primates, sure, together with Home sapiens are excellent at studying by the use of imitation, and we even have heard that phrase; “imitation is the best type of flattery” and so, let’s take this one step additional now. You see, I used to be watching that well-known YouTube video on the TED Channel with Sir Ken Robinson who talks in regards to the significance to show creativity in our faculties, in fact, right here within the US we now have extreme budgetary challenges with all that do not we? Plainly’s the very first thing they wish to reduce lately Paint by numbers Australia.

But when our faculties reduce out artwork, music and something inventive, then we get a bunch of kids graduating who suppose like drones because of all that inane rote memorization. So, is there a method to train kids artwork early on, educating them to paint with out spending extra for extra lecture rooms and lecturers? Nicely, let’s mix all this ideas above with this new know-how I’ll describe under;

There was an fascinating article in Gizmag online tech gadget information on July 19, 2013 titled; “Youngsters’s artwork goes excessive tech with WaterColorBot,” by Jonathan Fincher, which depicted a printer like portray machine, the place brushes dipped within the paint and painted an image based mostly on a graphic program, just like a printer however it really painted. Nicely, think about if you’ll a robotic keyboard piano and the way kids can study to play the piano by following alongside and watching and dealing with it? Nicely, might this machine in Gizmag be the following step in coaching our future human artists, or will related and extra refined machines exchange human artists?

Earlier than, I get into any sophisticated philosophical dialogue of how robotics are altering our lives and changing our jobs and careers, let’s speak about educating creativity and artwork to kids for a second utilizing such a tech device. Since all of us study in a short time from imitation, plainly we must be utilizing some of these strategies, and we must leverage such applied sciences, equivalent to avatars, computer systems, robotics, holographic imagery, and Three-D printing to just do that. Please think about all this and suppose on it.
