Art Teacher

Here's a neat idea I had today: an art teacher app. Basically it runs you through a series of drawing exercises where you take a picture of what you've drawn with your phone, and it analyses the result and gives you feedback. So if your circles aren't circular enough, or your lines aren't straight, it can tell you, and give you a specific score for each exercise that you improve over time.

You could add in-app purchase type stuff for learning to draw specific things or licensed characters. So you can learn to draw Mickey Mouse if you're willing to pay a couple dollars, and Disney gets a cut. Maybe even have some kind of marketplace where people can put up their own exercises or figures, and take a cut that way. Then the app and basic exercises could be free, which would be a nice thing for kids who want to learn to draw.

I quite like the idea of a specific kind of educational software that works even without any other education. The idea that someone could learn with nothing but code to teach them is one of the coolest things I can think of.
