If you are still using Microsoft Paint, then it might be time to either a.) come out from under that rock you’ve been living under for the past decade, or b.) make the leap to Inkscape. Inkscape is an open source software program that works as a combo of Illustrator and Paint, with just a touch of Photoshop thrown in. So if you fancy yourself a techno-Bob Ross (RIP), you might like this drawing program especially. It’s user-friendly enough that even amateur arteests like myself can get the hang of it, but advanced enough that those who are more Photoshop savvy can get a lot of mileage from it.

Inkscape is a good tool to create simple designs and add a bit of flair to otherwise humdrum presentations or slideshows. Some of the handy-dandy tools include a calligraphic line function, a text editor, and several fun effects like negative and color removal options. Inkscape is a great way to begin using a drawing tool for grown-ups, but simple enough that your students might find a niche into the world of computer generated graphic art. –JEREMY S.GRIFFIN
