Help Needed - 3/9/2005 17:46:26
Hi there. I'm a Kindergarten teacher and would like to know how to make clip art. You see, I like to create my own worksheets to use in my class. To make them cute for my kids I use clip art such as DJ inkers and others I find on the web. I know that is illegal so, despite the fact that I'm not an artist in any way, I decided to create my own stick characters to use on my worksheets. The problem is I don't know how to get them on the computer and onto a disk or cd to save. I have a scanner and, since I work for a school district, have access to almost any graphic program (but don't know which one to use). There, I also have access to a Wacom Intuos tablet although I really don't know how to use it. I have tried finding info on the web and haven't really found anything helpful since most of the info. is about web graphics. I would appreciate any and all advice I could get and since I love to read, I don't mind buying a book (even if it's a textbook) that would tutor me in that area.
Thanks so much for your help
Linda

Thanks...we have Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro to name a few. Is there one that is better or easier to use than another?
Thanks'

thanks so much. I don't have any program except for your typical computer program (Photoshop, Microsoft Word) but at school I have access to several programs. But from what you are telling me, it seems that all I have to do is just scan and then I can use it. I have tried scanning one of my images but it ended up with a white box around it. When I tried to paste it to my worksheet, the box covered some of my writing lines (I was trying to place a stick figure sitting on the writing lines where the kids practice writing their letters). Is there something I can do to make that box go away?
Thanks so much for your help

Hi Jaybee..thanks so much for your help. I did try saving as a transparent gif but I can't figure out how to do it. Should I be using a particular drawing/art program? Thanks so much for your help.

I will try that. Thanks so much. I know it seems simple but I really don't know much about graphic programs so I really thank you very much. Hopefully when I finally figure it out, I will post one of my worksheet so you can see what you helped me with.
Thanks
Linda
