The importance of computer in modern school fine arts lessons has been confirmed and it cannot be doubted. We use it as a teaching medium, a tool for artistic creation and as information and communication component. Tablet computers and similar devices, can therefore serve the same purpose perfectly. With its simplicity, specific physical characteristics and mobility they open up new possibilities that are worth being considered carefully and used reasonably. Involvement in the project Innovative Pedagogy 1 : 1, gave us further stimulation. Eight-grade students were equipped with tablet computers and together with them we explore different functions and possibilities. So we are thinking about the most appropriate artistic content or parts of the learning process, where the tablet could provide added value in terms of both knowledge as well as artistic creative work. We present an example of use of tablet computers in the learning context of the colour contrast. Tablets are mainly used as a tool for viewing and creating artwork. Through the play of light the tablet camera offers exciting new perspectives of art motifs, and the application for cutting out enables students to create interesting colour compositions. In the final stage of the lesson, we were able to carry out a qualitative evaluation and set up an internal web exhibition in a very short time via wireless network.
