Apple Celebrates Turkish Children's Day With Self-Portraits Created Using iPad and Apple Pencil

Today is National Sovereignty and Children's Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Sovereignty_and_Children%27s_Day) in Turkey, an annual public holiday that takes place on April 23 in the country. As it has in years past (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/04/21/apple-childrens-day-in-turkey/), Apple is celebrating the holiday by sharing art that children have created using its products.





Apple CEO Tim Cook highlighted a self-portrait created by 13-year-old Özgün Asya, who made the image on an iPad with Apple Pencil.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center> Over the past week, Apple's Turkish YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwvnlBf9kMqF-2kw3SJMt0w/videos) has been sharing a few videos also highlighting Children's Day, in a series called "My Portrait." The first video posted focused on Asya's self-portrait, and in it she explains that she drew herself with her favorite flower, the cherry blossom.

Following the first video, Apple published six more short, 15-second clips where kids from Turkey explained the art that they created using iPad. Ali G. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3nAIIUdxjs) explained that he drew seven-and-a-half versions of himself due to his own age, Ece S. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doljiCOg0uw) described her nature-focused portrait, and Defne A. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNNrg6QUBqA) showed off an image of her and her dog.





In the most recent video, shared over the weekend, Apple combined all of the self portrait videos into one 30-second ad.

The power of the iPad, the ease of use of Apple Pencil, and the unlimited creativity of children came together, and these extraordinary self-portraits came out.

Apple's Children's Day videos showcase the latest 9.7-inch iPad, which was announced (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/03/27/apple-reveals-9-7-inch-ipad/) at an education-focused event in late March. The sixth-generation device includes Apple Pencil support with sensors that measure pressure and tilt so that users can take notes or illustrate in supported apps. The tablet has a reduced education price (https://www.apple.com/education/how-to-buy/) and multiple accessories (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/03/27/apple-logitech-crayon-stylus-keyboard-case/) that are particularly aimed at kids in school.
