Tools of the Trade...., Hey. Options

[Daniella]

Over the summer, I want to do a lot of stuff with art. Use chalk, and that paint I've had but rarely used for years.
Whenever I do stuff now, I always do it with Corel or GIMP, but now I'm trying out this SAI paint tool I've found (trial, though). I always draw in my school notebooks too, and use my pens and sometimes just pencils.

I sort of want to also buy some clay sometime, since I did a claymation in school once, and it was lots of fun (but tedious).

I wish the schools would get GIMP rather than buying the Adobe products and updating them every year. GIMP is easier to understand, and I like its organization better. It's straightforward about what everything does, and again, it's FREE! It would save so much money that we could spend on other things *cough*instruments*cough* and that's one of the major issues education is facing anyway.
