[|Scratch] This is an easy to use programme that creates animations- I hope to use this simple tool with my Art History students- for the presentations of their theories. If you downlaod it, then you can create little creatures, import images and add text or sound. The elarniong conference showed us this easy to use tool. Just in time for the holidays!! Ps - do you like my little image I made of kiwi washing. (yes I do: Malcolm)

Artweaver Artweaver: an art software package I thought would be suitabel for teachers of Art. **Artweaver** is a painting program which is suitable for beginners but also suitable for advanced users. You can record all your steps and replay them afterwards or provide them to other users. Also there are many tools and features like layers and effect filter. Download the free version for educators.
