I picked this one for its very close attention to detail towards the people and the background. This very detailed landscape is currently on display in Niles, Fremont, California. Also, I hope for the artist’s sake that they drew this from a picture or made it up, because to draw this from an actual model, their neck must have been incredibly sore after drawing this. For that reason, this sketch gets to be on the list. Many were skylines or a particular building if they were city related, but this one had the most unique perspective. Out of all of the hundreds of Etch-a-Sketch pictures I looked at, this was the only one to have this kind of viewpoint. As you twist the knobs on the front of the toy that control the vertical and horizontal axes, a movable stylus removes the powder from the screen, leaving behind what looks like a black line but is actually the darkened inside of the toy. Inside, the toy is filled with aluminum powder, which gives the screen its gray color. The mechanics of the toy are simple enough. Simple shapes can often make for complex images, and the simplest thing to make on an Etch-a-Sketch by far is the line. Recently and amusingly, Carl Crawford’s agent distributed iPads to teams interested in hiring the baseball player that had clips highlighting Crawford’s playing ability preloaded onto the device. In addition to being what some might call an oversized handheld game system, the iPad is being used in productive ways by attorneys, medical professionals, college students, and even autistic children. As of September 30, 2010, 7.5 million of them have been sold around the globe.
The iPad came out in April of 2010, a computer tablet advertised as being the new medium for entertainment multimedia such as books, movies, and games. However, for some this toy has captivated their imagination and ability to create beyond anything I could have ever imagined possible. Who remembers how exciting it was to make something vaguely resembling a circle? I know I do! For me though, after about twenty minutes of making an empty jail cell and Christmas presents, I would get bored and find a less challenging toy, like a domino. It gave the artist infinite possibilities to create and astound their friends with a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork, no matter how complex. Those more familiar with the line of Etch-a-Sketches know that other versions have come out such as the Animator in 1986, a digital Etch-a-Sketch capable of storing 12 pictures the Animator 2000 in 1988, which added computer games the Etch-a-Sketch Color in 1993, which made six colors available for etching and sketching and the Etch-A-Sketch Plug and Play Drawing System, where hand-held controllers and a television screen are used as your etch-a-sketch.Īlthough it has changed over the years to keep things fresh for its new target audience, the classic Etch-a-Sketch remains a crowd pleaser. Since the 1960s, the Etch-a-Sketch has been a toy staple for almost every child who has grown up in America.
