MoMA Art Lab

iPad / Education

"MoMA Art Lab creates one of the most creative and inspiring experiences that I've encountered since the iTunes Store opened. The tools are easy to use and produce fascinating artwork. The six [now nine] activities based on the work of real artists make brilliant use of the iPad."
—Jinny Gudmundsen, "iPad Apps for Kids for Dummies"

Get creative and use the MoMA Art Lab app to make a sound composition, a shape poem, a group drawing, and more, then save and share your artwork (parental setting available). Explore how artists use line, shape, and color, discover artists' processes and inspirations, and create your own artwork inspired by MoMA's collection. Artists featured in the MoMA Art Lab app include Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Elizabeth Murray, and others.

The MoMA Art Lab app is intended for ages seven and up.
