Canvas Kids
A private archive for a childhood of artwork
Parents photograph the artwork that comes home from school, and it lands in one private family archive instead of a drawer. Teachers can send classroom work straight into it.
- Who it is for
- Parents, and the teachers who send work home
- Where it stands
- In production, free trial
What it does
Capture artwork as it arrives
Snap a photo, add a title, a date, and a note about what was going on that week. The archive builds itself over years rather than needing a project day.
Teachers share into the family archive
A teacher posts classroom art and milestones once and it reaches each child's own archive. Free for teachers and classrooms.
Yearly time capsules
Seal a child's dreams, favorites, and personality at the end of each year, then unlock them later.
Family, not just parents
Invite grandparents and caregivers to view the archive, with view-only access that cannot change or purchase anything.
Printed books
Turn a year of the archive into a physical book to order.
What you can rely on
- Native apps on iPhone, iPad and Android, plus a web portal for family who would rather not install anything
- Each family's archive is separated at the data layer, not just hidden in the interface, so one family can never reach another's
- Artwork is kept at full resolution and shared through links that expire, rather than public URLs
- Grandparents and caregivers can be given view-only access that cannot edit or purchase
- Teachers work in their own portal, so classroom posting never touches a parent's account
