this page is about the subject. For the OLPC community, see Community:Art

Projects

There are art Activities for the XO, such as Paint, Colors!, and Cartoon Builder.

Images and photography

There are some good tutorials in ohw to frame, crop, and lay out new images.

There are also good public repositories of images to work with; better than the old clipart-collection standbys.

• Public Domain Images Several thousand copyright friendly images nicely organized in folders, free for personal or commercial use.
• public domain photos (a few thousand)
• open clip art
• Flickr (2 Million cc-by and cc-by-sa photos)
  • A Flickr collection of photos of kids, offered by the artist for use in games.

Design

For design of everyday things, including blueprints and other designs, one could use something like graph paper or a CAD program. The American Institute of Architects is interested in helping get some sort of design software to work on the XO, but doesn't have a lot of devs of their own. They are looking for someone to work with them for a while on such outreach efforts.
